CONDUIT TOOLBAR IS •over a year ago

It is A NIGHTMARE, slows systems, sucks mass CPU and memory, crashes everything, redirects browser pages against your wishes, blocks access to some websites, if you do a search on images then right click to open image in another tab-the new tab will not show the image & the site is unreachable, creates mass advertising and popups, hides in the registry, the temp files, the program files, uninstall programs, in plugins & extensions, it hides itself in a MILLION different places, you could go for days and days trying to uninstall it and then conduit is all 'ITS SO EASY TO UNINSTALL' which is a TOTAL LIE. It is HORRIBLE - HELL YES YOU SHOULD UNINSTALL IT. They are devious, fraudulent, lying, dishonest, unhelpful, money grubbing bastards. I just spent like FOREVER trying to get rid of every last vestige of CONDUIT and I'm thinking OKAY it's definitely gone. WELL then ANOTHER parasitic toolbar inserted itself onto my computer and as I was reading the LOG entries I saw the line: v5 toolbar is already installed !! WHAT? It then disabled the v5, something I was unable to do. Of course now I have to get rid of the new INVADER. THESE TOOLBARS ARE UNNECESSARY AT BEST, at worst LIKE CONDUIT IS THE BIGGEST NIGHTMARE OUT THERE, they always say you had the option to decline BUT I never saw that, I think it's a lie.
