Virus causing new pop up ads in IE?

iPaul626, You might want to take a look at your tools in IE, Select Manage Add-On's and your browser highjacker might be there.
Or you could download the free Malwarebytes at https://www.malwarebytes.org/
and run it in the full scan mode.
It might not be what they call a Virus but in reality a browser hijacker..

Make sure your set on the Middle left column to Show All Add-ons to see what is installed,

You can also go through your Uninstall a program list for items you might not recognize,
See above my signature picture on how to post screen shots here,
Cheers.

i would suggest running a full scan in malwarebytes, not a quick scan

I see Blue beat me to it but another would be

Now if you can find the authour personally I go look in Program s and Features or try Revo

if they are persistent I go to regedit and scroll down through the Software in the HKEYs - User and Local Machine right click and delete the entry for it. My pics are for example only and you do not have to do this:)

But back the registry up first - as you should always do on a machine just in case:)

Why conduit? Which program did you download before this happened?

Mate out of interest I wouldn't mind betting it is still sitting in the reg in one of those HKEYS I mentioned > Software.
