Posted April 12, 201410 yr I downloaded a file from the Internet but when my anti-virus package did a security scan it couldn't say if it was safe or not. I therefore decided to abort the download. The following day when I connected to the Internet rather than it starting my Yahoo home page I got a message saying from a website called conduit.com that it had found some registry errors and invited me to download a PC registry cleaner to deal with it. The message box said it was a Microsoft partner and had a Yes and No button. The No button was greyed out so couldn't access it. I therefore got very suspicious and have ignored it and can only access the Internet by going into my Favourites and download the Yahoo home page from there. I ran a scan using the free edition of Zone Alarm but nothing was found. Although I get regular updates from Zone Alarm every couple of days perhaps I should invest in a bought package such as Norton or Kasparov. My question is, is it a malware or is conduit.com a real Microsoft partner? Many thanks. <Original Title:Possible malware, need help> Continue reading...
