I have fully scanned my hardrive with Windows Defender but the browser hijacker still exist. So what I did is to uninstall Mozilla And Chrome browser and re install. But the internet explorer cannot be uninstall. Is there any way to get rid of this browser hijacker? This is what appears to the IE browser when initially started " http://www.dalesearch.com " I have windows 8.1 and IE 11.

There are free to use scanners listed here.

Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. Each works differently. If one program misses something, another may pick it up.

Hi, please try working through Remove Dale Search toolbar by Malware Tips.

Note that not all removal programs will detect all malware, so you may need to run several or all of them.

After removal you may need to reset your home page and search, which in Firefox, you can do by running the add-on SearchReset. In IE, you will have to do that from its Tools > Internet Options menu.

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

Thanks, but I have managed to fix it with http://www.fix-spyware-now.com/blog/how-to-guides-for-dalesearch-com-com... And MalwareBytes still need me to register it with money.
