When opening a new tab in firefox it opens to search.conduit.com/?ctid=CT3321972&octid=EB_ORIGINAL_CTID&SearchSource=69&CUI=&SSPV=&Lay=1&UM=4&UP=SP9034E736-D47C-4E37-8284-2DF836D95095

also I am gettting popup ads and a search suggestions and there's some sort of software involved that was called safe search. I found the conduit.com site and their recommendation to remove did not work.

I ran spybot and did a deep scan as well...

Hi and welcome

Please download and run the following tool to help allow other programs to run. (courtesy of BleepingComputer.com)
There are 6 different versions. If one of them won't run then download and try to run the other one.
Vista and Win7 users need to right click and choose Run as Admin
You only need to get one of them to run, not all of them.

rkill.exe (http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/grinler/rkill.exe)
rkill.com (http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/grinler/rkill.com)
rkill.scr (http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/grinler/rkill.scr)
rkill.pif (http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/grinler/rkill.pif)
WiNlOgOn.exe (http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/grinler/WiNlOgOn.exe)
uSeRiNiT.exe (http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/grinler/uSeRiNiT.exe)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/farbar-recovery-scan-tool/) and save it to your Desktop.

Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.

Right click to run as administrator (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File). When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
Press Scan button.
It will produce a log called FRST.txt in the same directory the tool is run from.
Please copy and paste log back here.
The first time the tool is run it generates another log (Addition.txt - also located in the same directory as FRST.exe/FRST64.exe). Please also paste that along with the FRST.txt into your reply.
