Conduit Search Engine
This program is a browser hijacker that some could conclude it is a virus but really its not, more like a pain. This hijacker does have attributes that make it access and embed itself within the operating system but really how can we just get rid of it. Attached is the website link, go and read up on how to remove it. The question is just how dangerous could this program be in exploiting our information. This raises the most concerns for me. What do you think? http://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-conduit-search-virus/
Having fallen victim to this sort of malware in the past, I can attest to how much of a pain it is. Just when you think you've got all remnants removed, something else reminds you that its still there. While its not difficult to remove it, it is extremely time consuming. Wouldn't it be great if there were some sort of anti-malware software that would prevent this from ever happening again. Okay, yes i know, as soon as that software existed, someone would find a way to crack it and cause even more annoyances. To officially answer your question of how dangerous it could be, That depends on how much unsecured personal information each user has on the system that gets affected by this type of program. I think its extremely important that people educate themselves on the proper precautions and ensure they protect their personal and vital data. As the saying goes, "Knowing is half the battle."
