How to Remove Conduit Search Protect

Running Anti-Malware Programs

1

Run AdwCleaner. AdwCleaner is a free program that will target any malware installed into your browser. It should only be downloaded from the developer's website to ensure that you don't download a fake program.

• AdwCleaner is a small program, and doesn't need to be installed in order to run.
• Close any browser windows before running AdwCleaner.
• Run the scan. This may take several minutes to complete.
• Check the report. Once the scan is complete, you will be shown a report of all the programs and registry entries that will be removed. If you don't see anything on it you need to keep, click the "Delete" button.
• Reboot your computer.
• 
  
• 
  
• 1. 
     2
     Run Malwarebyte Anti-Malware. This is another free program that will scan your computer and remove malware. It is important to run multiple programs, as none of them are perfect. Unlike AdwCleaner, Anti-Malware will need to be installed before you can run it. Only download this program directly from the developers, do NOT download it from sites such as Download.com or Softpedia.
     • Scan your computer. This scan can take several minutes. You don't necessarily need to run the full scan.
     • Remove any results. Make sure all the results that appear are checked, and then click the "Remove Selected" button to delete them.
  2. 
     3
     Run HitmanPro. HitmanPro is another free anti-malware program that you can use to scan your computer. Install it and select "Activate free license" during the installation process.
     • Scan your computer. Remove any files that appear in the results.
  While the previous steps should be enough to clear Conduit off of your system, you may still have a lingering registry key or two, which can become troublesome. Follow these steps to remove them.

  1. 1
     Open the Registry Editor. You can open the Registry Editor by pressing⊞ Win+R and typing regedit. Be careful when using the Registry Editor, as changing the wrong thing can disrupt your copy of Windows.
  2. 2
     Search for the registry entries related to Conduit. There will be a variety of registry keys that you will need to find. Use the directory in the left pane to navigate to each of the following keys:

     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\random
     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\run\random
     HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Installer\Products\5ATIUYW62OUOMNBX256 “(Default)”=”1?
     HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\“UninstallString” =
     “‘%AppData%\[RANDOM]\[RANDOM].exe” -u
     HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\“ShortcutPath” =
     “‘C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\5ATIUYW62OUOMNBX256.exe” -u’”
     HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce “5ATIUYW62OUOMNBX256”
     = “‘C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\5ATIUYW62OUOMNBX256.exe’
     
  3. 3
     Delete each entry. Right-click on each entry to delete it. Once you are finished deleting each entry, reset your computer to finish the process. Once Windows resets, Conduit should be completely gone.

4. Download torrent with help of Downloading managers (IDM, DAP, Orbit etc)

Torrent client use the torrent protocol which is peer-to-peer files sharing protocol to download file. Even the P2P protocol is best among all for downloading file but some time downloading file using other protocol can help in gaining more downloading speed. You can use your downloading managers to download your torrent files. 

• Refer my post Download torrent files with IDM .

5. Increase the number of Max Half Open TCP connections:

The Max Half Open TCP connections specify that how many connections a torrent client should attempt to establish simultaneously at any given time. Operating Systems like Windows XP-SP2and newer, limits this to a default of 10.As torrents need a large number of simultaneous connections you can increase your torrent downloading speed by changing this figure.

A patch has been available for a while from LvlLord which modifies the TCPIP.sys file in Windows to allow a higher number of TCP connections.

After running the patch, you have to change your torrent client settings also. In uTorrent  go to 

Options ->Preferences ->Advanced – >net.max_halfopen.

Set any number from 50 to 100.Dont use more than that. Also keep checking TCPIP.sys for cross verifying the number of Max Half Open TCP connections.
