Search Project: Malware?
This morning I noticed a lot of pop-up ads whenever I opened internet explorer. They were the kinds of pop up that couldn't be closed unless you closed the complete window. I then realized that I must have some sort of malware installed. So I went into Control Panel/Uninstall a program. I saw one called "Search Project by Conduit." So I removed it. I have no idea how it got installed. I do realize that when a person downloads freeware that a lot of stuff comes ridding piggy-back with it. I am therefore very careful when I install anything like that to make sure I get only what I want. So I'm wondering how I got it. Maybe I wasn't careful enough and it got installed. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Thanks--Frank
