    Not sure I'm in the right place for this question.  I have IE11/Windows 7.  When my wife or grandson (not sure which) was playing games, something called conduit or something like hat was trying to download, but my anti-virus blocked it.  Unfortunately it kept popping up everytime the wife tried to play something or go to her home page. Anyways, I searched online and all my answers said to simply reset ie, which I did but now she gets mad cuz she can't play her games because of the error.  I know the system meets the minimum requirements because all was fine before this conduit thing.  I did a virus scan/check and it's all clean.  Thanks for any help you can provide or shed light on this issue.

    Hi, I was directed over here on account of I am apparently infected.  I've started the process, but when I clicked on the adw, my site advisor said don't go there, so I tried to find an alternate site but they all keep wanting me to download or install other stuff I don't want or need at this time.  suggestions?

    Hello and welcome to Computer Hope Forum. My name is Dave. I will be helping you out with your particular problem on your computer.

    1. I will be working on your Malware issues. This may or may not solve other issues you have with your machine.
    2. The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for this issue on this machine.
    3. If you don't know or understand something, please don't hesitate to ask.
    4. Please DO NOT run any other tools or scans while I am helping you.
    5. It is important that you reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.
    6. Your security programs may give warnings for some of the tools I will ask you to use. Be assured, any links I give are safe.
    7. Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.

    If you can't access the internet with your infected computer you will have to download and transfer any programs to the computer you're using now and transfer them to the infected computer with a CD-RW or a USB storage device. I prefer a CD because a storage device can get infected. If you use a storage device hold the shift key down while inserting the USB storage device for about 10 secs. You will also have to transfer the logs you receive back to the good computer using the same method until we can get the computer back on-line.
    *************************************************************************
    Yes, you are infected. Your AV doesn't stop this type of malware. Please run these scans and post the logs.

    Please download AdwCleaner by Xplode onto your Desktop.
    • Please close all open programs and internet browsers.
    • Double click on adwcleaner.exe to run the tool.
    • Click the scan button
    • Once the scan is complete Click on Delete.
    • Confirm each time with OK
    • Your computer will be rebooted automatically. A text file will open after the restart.
    • Please post the content of that logfile in your reply.
    • You can find the logfile at C:\AdwCleaner[Sn].txt as well - n is the order number.
    *********************************************
    Please download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware from here.
    Double Click mbam-setup.exe to install the application.
    • Make sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
    • If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
    • Once the program has loaded, select "Perform Full Scan", then click Scan.
    • The scan may take some time to finish,so please be patient.
    • When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
    • Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
    • When disinfection is completed, a log will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to Restart. (See Extra Note)
    • Please save the log to a location you will remember.
    • The log is automatically saved by MBAM and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
    • Copy and paste the entire report in your next reply.
    Extra Note:

    If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove,you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts,click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process. If asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately.
    *************************************************
    Please download Junkware Removal Tool to your desktop.

    Warning! Once the scan is complete JRT will shut down your browser with NO warning.

    Shut down your protection software now to avoid potential conflicts.

    •Temporarily disable your Antivirus and any Antispyware real time protection before performing a scan. Click this link to see a list of security programs that should be disabled and how to disable them.

    •Run the tool by double-clicking it. If you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7, right-click JRT and select Run as Administrator

    •The tool will open and start scanning your system.

    •Please be patient as this can take a while to complete depending on your system's specifications.

    •On completion, a log (JRT.txt) is saved to your desktop and will automatically open.

    •Copy and Paste the JRT.txt log into your next message.

      thanks, looking forward to fixing this.  whenever I go to adw, mcaffee says it's a risky site, so I click visit anyway and then I get internet explorer stopped working, is there another site I should use, skip this piece? or something else?

                well, I went to msn games, and I still have the same error message, and there is another window which pops up , it's blank, but says
                http://zone.msn.com/en/utility/clientunsupported.aspx as the ?url? (not real sure).  everything else seems to be just fine, so I'm not sure why
                the error.
