I am trying to uninstall Search Protect using the Control Panel/uninstall, but it's not working.
When you click the uninstall, it triggers a pop up window that by removing it you will get even more stuff.
I tried CCleaner, but it does nothing as well.
I know a few of these comments prior to mine ask to download other softwares.... I really don't want to get anything free to download. I am willing to go to any box store and get something there, but now download from the net.
(I have another computer with spy alert, the same kind of #$#@ and I could uninstall it, but the uninstallations didn't remove it completely and it still acts!)
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Got it while downloading video convert to mp4 since Window Maker only produces one kind of extension. The download had some questions, I didn't read, and it came with the download. The spyware is not as a browser extension/plugin in none of my browsers (IE, Chromo and Firefox) and it was in the middle of a game, hijacking the look of the browser!
So basically I just need to remove/uninstall the #$%#. You cannot see it in the add-on etc.

UPDATE.
Firefox still has the search.conduit.com as the home page. No you can not overwrite the home page, it comes back to search conduit thing. So far IE and chrome are OK

UPDATE 2
I found this thread
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/978853
and raw.sock asks to go to registry and delete stuff there. Kind of worried, but it seems to be the solution.
I didn't find all the files he was talking about, but I found SweetPacks, SweetIM, the conduit thing....
Do I need to delete all of these? Do these belong to Windows?
This is the full path.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Conduit
And.....
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\InternetRegistry\REGISTRY\USER\S-1-5-21-1711772909-971553794-1382300107-1001\Software\SweetIM
And the other one:

Well, this is what I found....
