Hi,
Conduit is actually nor malware. It's a company that makes a number of products.
One of these proficts is a tiilbar platform which is used by many different companies (and distributed under their names).
You probably downloaded a toolbar that was built on the conduit platform,
To remove conduit you can use the following guide - hxxp://www.uninstallconduit.net
I wrote this guide with the intent of allowing you to remove the toolbar by yourself without needing to install an additional program on your computer.
I hope you find it useful.
