Hi,

My computer's become infected with search.conduit.

I ran Malwarebytes and it detected some malware files and deleted them. I know they were associated with this search.conduit thing because they cropped up at the same time.

However, one thing the software does not seem to get rid of is search.conduit having control over my browser (Firefox). I've followed different methods (resetting the search.conduit lines in about:config) and it won't disappear.

Could anybody help me?

Thanx

Hello and welcome to MBAM, errequeerre:

Sorry to hear you might be infected.
We cannot work on malware removal in this section of the forums, so please read below for assistance with cleaning your system.

IMPORTANT: Please do NOT use any temporary file cleaners unless instructed to do so - they can cause data loss, making it hard to recover your system.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE EXPERT ASSISTANCE WITH MALWARE REMOVAL, PLEASE CHOOSE ONE OF THE FOLLOWING 3 OPTIONS:
OPTION 1: Free, one-on-one, expert assistance in the Malware Removal Forum.
OPTION 2: For paid users of MBAM PRO, free, one-on-one, expert assistance from MBAM support.
OPTION 3: Fee-based, one-on-one, expert assistance from Premium Support.

OPTION 1:

• Please print out, read and carefully follow the instructions in the "I'm Infected - What Do I Do Now?" article.
  
• If the infection has so crippled the computer that you cannot complete some or all of the steps, then just do the best you can and start a new topic as described below.

• Then please start a new post in the Malware Removal Forum.
  
• When starting your new post, please note the following:
  
• Please do NOT post in a topic started by someone else, even if their problem sounds similar.
  
• Please COPY/PASTE the requested logs into your post, rather than attaching them.
  
• Under options, please be sure to select "track this topic" and "immediate email notification", so you'll know when a helper responds.

• Please be patient - it may be 48 hours or more before a helper can assist you, especially when the forum is very busy.
  
• Please do NOT "bump" your topic or reply back to it for at least 48 hours.
  
• Doing so may cause your topic to be overlooked, as it will appear that you are already being helped.
