Conduit Search Virus

Hi, I am pretty new to this forum, so I am sorry if I posted this in the wrong topic, or whatever. I guess this was the best one I could find

Before I say this, I just want to get this clear. I am not blaming Major Geeks on this virus, or anything. I trust this website, and it is not MG's fault.

Anyways, my mom went onto major geeks, and instead of clicking one of the downloads here, she accidentally clicked an ad, that contained a bunch of crappy tool-bars, or whatever. (Silly Mom )

I uninstalled the toolbars, ran MalwareBytes, HitMan-Pro, CCleaner, and my antivirus (Which is avast, The latest version, that is free). I know all of that probably was not necessary, but I just wanted to make sure it was safe from viruses.

So it seems pretty good now, but the only problem is that when I open a new tab on my browser, (Mozilla-Firefox, just in case you needed to know for some reason) it goes to this link below, I would not recommend clicking on it:

http://search.conduit.com/?ctid=CT3315039&searchsource=69&UM=2&

I tried to go into the settings and change it, but I could not find anything, except for changing my homepage, which I already did change it to what I wanted.

I am still a bit nervous that I have some sort of virus hiding in my computer, so if anyone can give me some advice with that also, it would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

 

Thanks a lot, that sounds pretty helpful I'll try that out and see if it works. Again, thanks!

Oh, and by the way, I removed all the search engines that came with it. So that isn't the problem anymore.
