Alexa is a trustful business to get good information on websites that you are using and keep you from getting into a lot of spam websites I like Alexa.
I got Media Player Classic which 'supposedly' came from file.org and clicked to install. the first 5 things installed (instantly and without warning) were Delta Search, Delta Chrome, PCFixSpeed, 24x7 Help and LyriXeeker. These all went in before Media Player Classic and before the install/not install option came up.
Because this happened, anyone involved with Delta Search gets a Red Circle from me.
I was able to remove everything by editing the registry, but that is not something most people are willing to try since it can be risky.
