Can't get rid of Conduit.com search

[macx]

Don't know where it came from, doesn't show up in the control panel programs/applications section.

Went into C drive, Programs, and deleted the Conduit folder, but altho that folder is no longer in C / Programs, that still keeps coming up at random times when I open XP and/or start looking for something.

Have also used CCleaner and scanned with Super AntiSpyware and Malware Bytes, neither of which found it.

Thanks for any help!

I'm assuming your using chrome, go to Customize and control Google Chrome>tools>extensions<disable the Conduit search.

Actually I'm using XP as I mention, but thanks.

I think The Dreams means the Chrome browser. Not the os.. Try checking in your startup.

Google and look for a recent thread about conduit on bleepingcomputer Web site which includes tools to use to remove it. Do NOT attempt to uninstall using add / remove programs as it will cause xp to crash. (That warning is also in that thread. In fact I think is the subject of the title of the thread)

Or go to our virus forum and Broni could surely help

My goof on XP versus a browser.

I use Yahoo.

Thanks for the reference - I had already looked in add / remove programs
but (thankfully as it turns out) it wasn't even listed in there.

I'll check that out.
