    Someone can take a look at the system if you start a topic in the Malware Removal Forum where a volunteer analyst will advise when available.

    If you decided to do that please see the forum's FAQ which also includes instructions in post #2 on how to provide DDS and aswMBR logs, which are used in the preliminary analysis.

    SWEETPACKS / CONDUIT

    Very malicious, very devious, many dozens of registry entries, Program Files folders, all users, appdata folders had various subfolders; and it hijacked all 5 installed browser home pages, search engines, and so far cannot be removed, and keeps re-installing itself. I have found many dozens of registry entries referring to it.

    When I tried to uninstall in Control Panel, Programs - SpyBot 2.0 alerted me that the web page brought up was known malicious install site.

    I’d be interested in knowing if you’ve had any run-in with this very bad malware.

    I got it simply by right clicking to use a different app to open a video file (at home) and got offered an update and stupidly clicked express install.

    So far I have been working for two days trying to remove all the tendrils, and SpyBot has been no help. I did find that all the SpyBot browser plug-ins, along with Windows Defender had been disabled.
