Hi, I'm having problems removing "search protect". It wont let me remove it through control panel, I've removed it through windows safe mode and it came back. im using ie11 and windows 7 home edition. Thank you for your time.
 
Solution
Its pretty easy..Dont use add or remove programs..It Wont help

For Windows 7 and Windows 8

1.Just boot in safe mode
2.open C/: Program files x86(you will find the "Search protect" or "Search conduit" folder there)
3.Permanently delete that folder.
4.Now Reboot normally
5.Now open add or remove programs you will find search protect conduit remove it.
6.change your browser settings aka ur homepage etc

And you are good to go

This is the easiest way 2 remove it.
Dont use any other malvare removal tool it wont work..There are Just junk.
This search conduit is not a malvare
Its a potentially unwanted program so it wont go unless u remove it in safe mode..
Good Luck
