Conduit Community Toolbar PC Malware ISRAEL ISRAEL
Conduit and AKA Community Toolbar, new round of malware known as FOISTWARE which deceives users and installs along
with common and good software, on popular web istes including download.com .Takes over search results, slows down systems. Installs in spite of
good anti virus and good anti spyware on your system. Uses social engineering to install despite declining acceptance of terms, tags along
for the ride with otherwise good software. download.com is not causing this but does not take any responsibility in preventing conduit. Watch out for
pop ups that insist you must install a new version of FLC or other flash player. Only install the flash player from KNOWN good sites like
adobe.com. Do not get TAKEN by these bad guys.
Conduit is run by a criminal located in ISRAEL. whos lookups onlione yield no useful info.
The details below may be helpful in removing this persistent junk. Update and install spybot, malwarebytes
and io malware fighter. Boot your affected system into SAFE MODE via hitting F8 repeatedly at boot up time.
Also use windows explorer to find any files with the word conduit and or community toolbar in them. (Be careful
not to delete any legit file on your system with those words in them, such as a data file.
Last option is to backup your data and reinstall your operating system and all apps. Lotta work. Good luck.
