Every time I attempt to go on the net, up comes a thing called 'conduit'. Seems to me to be some sort of search engine. The problem is it is painfully slow. I can click on another tab to get Google back and I get normal Google speed and service. What is conduit anyway? I have deleted it once but it still comes back. Is there a way of getting rid of it altogether?

I get the problem both with Chrome and Internet explorer. I found out about this Conduit organisation but the main problem now is how to prevent it coming up every time I go onto the internet. Normally its not a problem as I can click on a new page and get Chrome OK. But when I get referred from another site, I have to wait until conduit loads...eventually. I also know I can copy the URL from conduit and paste it into chrome but this is a bet messy. I would like to get rid of conduit permanently.

Can you see anything related to Conduit in "Add or Remove Programs"?

Some time ago when I first noticed 'conduit' appearing as a search engine, I found it in my programme list. I removed it and all was well of a while then it mysteriously reappeared. I have searched my list of installed programmes but nothing there now. The computer search only indicated conduit was in the recycle bin where I put it months ago. It is still appearing every time I click on Google Chrome. It doesn't appear when I click on Internet explorer.
