Conduit redirect in Chrome

Copy the bold text below to notepad. Save it as fixme.reg to your desktop. Be sure the "Save as" type is set to "all files" Once you have saved it double click it and allow it to merge with the registry.

Make sure that you tell me if you receive a success message about adding the above
to the registry. If you do not get a success message, it definitely did not work.


Please download AdwCleaner by Xplode and save to your Desktop.

• Double click on AdwCleaner.exe to run the tool.
  Vista/Windows 7/8 users right-click and select Run As Administrator
• Click on the Scan button.
• AdwCleaner will begin...be patient as the scan may take some time to complete.
• After the scan has finished, click on the Report button...a logfile (AdwCleaner[R#].txt) will open in Notepad for review (where the largest value of # represents the most recent report).
• The contents of the log file may be confusing. Unless you see a program name that you know should not be removed, don't worry about it. If you see an entry you want to keep, let me know about it.
• Attach the logfile to your next next reply.
• A copy of all logfiles are saved in the C:\AdwCleaner folder which was created when running the tool.

Now if still having problems with Chrome then work thru the below.

Reset Chrome to Defaults


Any better?

 

Interesting. Not sure why but there is a good chance it is somehow related to AVG.

Just try reinstalling from here >> http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/google_chrome_26_1410_64_stable.html

 

Try the below:

• Click the Customize and Control Google Chrome button ( the 3 parallel lines down below the X button used to close the window ).
• Then on the pop down form select Settings.
• Now under the Search heading, click the Manage Search Engines button
  • Look in here for anything related to Conduit and select it and delete it by clicking the X button to the far right side.
  • Make sure that you look in both the Default Search Engines and Other Search Engines areas and delete any Conduit junk.
  • Select the default search engine you want ( like Google ) and click the Make Default button.
  • When finished, click the Done button
• Now back on the Settings page to the top left you should see an Extensions selection, click on it to bring up the installed extensions.
• Look for any undesired extension ( like Conduit or anything else you did not install ) and if found, click the Trash Can icon to delete the extension.
• Now close the Extensions/Setting tab to get back to normal view
• Exit Chrome and reopen.
• Are you still having a problem with Conduit ?

 

Excellent. Glad to hear it. Ready for final steps>?

 

If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:

1. We recommend you keep Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware.
3. Renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it in step 4 of the READ & RUN ME.
4. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis. If you don't see it or it will not uninstall, don't worry about it. Just move on to the next step.
5. If running Vista, Win 7 or Win 8, it is time to make sure you have reenabled UAC by double clicking on the C:\MGtools\enableUAC.reg file and allowing it to be added to the registry.
6. Now goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click ( if running Vista, Win7, or Win 8 Right Click and Run As Administrator ) on this file to run this cleanup program that will remove files and folders related to MGtools and some other items from our cleaning procedures.
7. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others) and running MGclean.bat did not remove them, you can delete these files now.
8. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
9. If you are running Win 8, Win 7, Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below to flush restore points:
   • Refer to the instructions for your WIndows version in this link: Disable And Enable System Restore​
   • What we want you to do is to first disable System Restore to flush restore points some of which could be infected.
   • Then we want you to Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
10. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
