Search Conduit

What is Search Conduit?

Search Conduit is a web search tool which has been developed by Conduit Ltd. According to Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers, Windows users should not trust the suspicious search.conduit.com search engine or the so-called Customized Web Search by Conduit because these applications have been designed to promote and advertise various websites not to provide you with reliable information. The suspicious Search by Conduit represents sponsored search results which are supported through advertisements. We do not recommend that you click on any sponsored search results or interact with the search engine because there is no way to tell which sites you could end up visiting. If your operating Windows system and Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome or Internet Explorer browsers are not protected against illicit, intrusive activity by authentic spyware detection/removal software, trusting the search engine could be dangerous.

Why should you delete Search Conduit?

The main reason behind the removal of the search tool is its inability to serve reliably. In fact, many Windows users even believe that the questionable search.conduit.com aids browser hijackers. It is not true that this search engine is a browser hijacker because usually a user must choose/agree to change his/her home page and default search provider settings. For example, if you have installed Trustworthy Toolbar, KeyBar Toolbar, and other well-known Conduit browser plugins, you must have been introduced to a special setup wizard. Here you are offered to install various third-party programs (e.g. TuneUp Utilities 2013) and accept browser modifications. If you are not familiar with the represented programs – do not install them onto your PC or web browsers because this may lead to serious problems. All in all, it appears that these modifications are indicated quite notably, and so there is no doubt that Search by Conduit is not a browser hijacker.

How to remove Search by Conduit?

To remove Search Conduit from your web browsers you can either install automatic spyware detection and removal software which could help you delete this undesirable program, or you can follow the manual removal procedures. If you choose the first option and install a reliable spyware remover (e.g. SpyHunter) you will not need to worry about spyware in the future. If you think you can handle the task manually, we strongly recommend that you install a reliable spyware scanner and then employ authentic Windows security software afterwards.
