Is search.conduit.com Safe?

There are ads for women offering computer or phone sex. While nothing illegal goes on and it isn't noticeable to an innocent, it is still there. I hate the ads that have music come on without wanting it, unexpectedly!!!!!!! It is intrusive and should not be allowed. Also a lot of the 'news' is rumor and not necessarily true. Other than that the site has no spammers or worms that I know of.

Not really useful site. If you need a search engine, use some more popular engines such as DuckDuckGo or Google. Yeah, it might be "just a Bing" as some of you say... then why don't you go to the real Bing instead of using this suspicious site? Conduit is known for their browser hijacker "Search Protect" (what an ironic name) often bundled with legit software, which makes it even more difficult to change your home website to something else than Conduit Search.

Popup advertiising/without permission takes/over home page, spyes and then keeps poppingup ads of simular things without letup. I have yet to get rid of this nusiance. I have blocked with WOT for now but who could love a thief that enters your house. I feel violated.

Actually, search.conduit.com was first made up by people outside Conduit to make Conduit users use their company's search engine and involve other non-Conduit users to search with it. However, it was slandered by www.anvisoft.com, ***** and more. I think now Conduit has claimed this website and erased the hijacker code.

I don't care if Conduit is the safest search engine ever. The fact is, I have never asked for it to be installed, so when it is installed, I will not trust it. I have been able to remove it from my computer every time it gets installed, but after the fifth time, it has just gotten annoying. To the point that I am here now making a useless internet complaint. Just like other posters have noted, Conduit 'piggybacks' on add-on/toolbar downloads and makes itself your new homepage, which is about as welcome as your meth-head sex offender uncle coming to your house and saying he's going to be staying for a while. Removing the program can be done through Uninstall/Install Programs in Windows System Settings, and you can reset your homepage and remove Conduit from the Browsers available search engines through the browser settings. It's just annoying as hell. ::End Vent::
