I was tempted to smugly suggest that you google "search.conduit.com", but it may not do you any good if your browser's search function has been compromised. If you have access to another computer or a smartphone you may want to try that to search because this particular malware hooks itself pretty deeply into your system.
This thread <https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/978853> discusses the issue, but you should read the entire thread as the "Chosen Solution" may not fully remove all traces from the registry, and there are a couple of malware removal tools and links discussed downthread. hth dt On Wed, Feb 5, 2014 at 9:37 AM, John Weller <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Dave, > > I've removed it from the search engines dropdown (I've removed everything > from the dropdown except Google :-) ) and it doesn't appear in the Control > Panel. > > Regards > > John > > John Weller > 01380 723235 > 07976 393631 > > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: ProfoxTech [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of >> Dave Crozier >> Sent: 05 February 2014 16:22 >> To: [email protected] >> Subject: RE: [NF] Unwanted Search Engine >> >> John, >> In the search engines dropdown to the right of the main URL bar you can >> choose the search engine and ad the bottom of the list is the manage > search >> engines where you can remove conduit.
