    Installing flash player, warning came up Home Page Change detected, changing MSN.Com to something I did not ask for. (http://search.conduit.com.... But, when I opt to block change, the warning keeps coming up. That effectively stops the loading of Flash Player.
    How do I stop the page change?

    Conduit is known malware.

    You should re-post this in the Malware Forum for advice on getting rid of it.

    Hope this helps. :)

    Not sure where you got the flash plugin from but here are two clean links for Win 7 and below:
    For IE
    Code:
    http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/install_flash_player_11_active_x.exe
    For FF and Opera
    Code:
    http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/install_flash_player_11_plugin.exe

    In the setting gear menu: "Manage add-ons" may help to remove it

    I used to encounter the conduit thing . Not that a big issue. Don't worry.
