Topic: WARNING virus which access all your files

[powerspade]

This past 3 days I have noticed that the normal Google page changed, I did a check and found that it is not a Genuine  page but a false one imitating Google It records all passwords from all sites including Banking details.
At the bottom of this false page you will see the words conduit get it?
Conned - u -in-it
Beware please

No doubt you're using Windows, they seem to be most open to attack. I moved away from Windows about four years ago and have had no problems since then. With my operating system nothing can be installed without I give the password to do it, I don't do that unless I am installing it.

It isn't a virus at all. At some time recently you've opted to install a toolbar that's powered by conduit ( there are around 250,000 community toolbars powered by conduit). Uninstall the toolbar and correct your homepage to google.co.uk and you'll be fine. Watch out that you're not installing toolbars as often you have to untick a box to NOT install a toolbar when visiting some websites or downloading other programmes.

Yep.... Linux FTW!
