Nevertheless, the browser add-on in question promotes a search engine which should not be used. If you pay no attention to the options provided in the installer, your home page will be changed to search.conduit.com. The search engine will also be changed, and, for example, instead of Google Search you will have to use FOX News Customized Web Search, which stand for the same Conduit Search.

On the startup page, various display ads will be displayed, all of which should be disregarded. You will find offers to scan the PC, take part in some competition, sweepstake, or survey, and so on. Moreover, you may find some sponsored links to the web pages that supposedly match your search queries. Ignore such links and search.conduit.com, as well as the toolbar, from your browsers.

Do not waste your time trying to remove the toolbar manually – install SpyHunter which will do everything for you automatically. Moreover, it will secure the PC against malware and spyware threats, so do not wait and act right now.
