Remove Search Protect by Conduit?? How??
Should I remove Search Protect by Conduit?
How? Actually there really are two questions here. Should I? How? As to how, one webpage said just to use Add or Remove Programs, an item on the Control Panel. That always takes a long time to populate the list of installed programs, but last night and today, I've run it for 5 minutes and longer and not a single program has shown up! Just the message to please wait while it's being populated. IIRC nothing will show up until all are ready to do so. While that's nice and supportive when a group of girls is going to a dance, it's inconvenient today. 1) Is there a place in the file structure where I can find the icon or whatever the Add or Remove page would create, that can delete this program. --- The program made no entry in my Start/All Programs list,much less an uninstall entry, being the kind of program it is (Hijackware?). At least no entry I recognize. I don't know what the file name would be. 2) One webpage said just to use Add or Remove programs (which I'm sure will eventually load, even if I have to restart windows.) but a poster said he kept deleting it and it kept coming back. I can go read more webpages but does anyone already know? Thanks |

That'll drop about a hundred things from your list :-) Paul |

Thanks for the reply, but as I said, this one didn't have one, or even a Start/All-programs program group. They're not interested in making it easy to get rid of, I guess. |

At least no entry I recognize. I don't know what the file name would be. I didn't do it this way, but further googling found someone who said "I went into the explorer: C:\Program Files\SearchProtect\main\bin It had the file uninstall.exe and I double clicked that and picked the uninstall option.' 2) One webpage said just to use Add or Remove programs (which I'm sure will eventually load, even if I have to restart windows.) but a poster said he kept deleting it and it kept coming back.

When checking Add/Remove, remember to untick the box at the top that causes Windows Updates to be listed. That'll drop about a hundred things from your list :-) I have that checked but eventually the list showed up. I deleted the program, and the icon in the bottom right disappeared. I see that there are two nested directiories still in C:\program files\Conduit. I guess these are left over from the install, but I'm still afraid to delete them. The \SearchProtect folder is gone, if it was ever there (I forgot to look first), Paul |
