joe53 Posted December 30, 2013 Author ID:770554 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Forgive me, a bit of explanation is required. For some reason, my previous copy/paste was truncated. To make a long story short, Auslogics foisted "Search Protect" by Conduit on me when I updated their Disk Defrag. Yes I know this was my mistake for not paying attention to the installation process to prevent this bundled malware from installing. Normally, I'm much more careful. I ran MBAM Pro, and AdwCleaner, deleting everything they found. For good measure I ran the Eset Online AV scan. All my scans now run clean. My home page and default search engines are restored. I just need some reassurance that this pest is totally gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
