Search.conduit: none of the solutions I've found are working.
search.conduit.com has been inserted into my search engines. This redirects me to a variety of sponsored search links anytime I a) attempt to search for something via the typical (google/yahoo etc.) address bar, search box, or search engine, b) anytime I click a link, search result, or attempt to download a file, and c) at random, about once an hour, intervals, involuntarily, without my consent, and seemingly with random search parameters.
I've been told this isn't a virus. Additionally, none of my antivirus (Avast!) or antispyware (Malwarebytes Free, SpyBot Search and Destroy, and SUPERAntispyware Free) do not detect it.
I've encountered many solutions for dealing with this issue. So far I've tried:
1) about:config changes to all defaults. Had no effect; the redirects continue.
2) Changing my profile. Same, redirects continue.
3) Reinstalling FireFox. Redirects still continue.
4) I've found advice on numerous conduit-related folders and files in the FireFox appdata folder and other system files to remove; I have removed everything I've seen matching these descriptions. The redirects continue.
5) conduit does not appear as an application, toolbar, add-on, extension, or any similar format, as suggested by others. Ive found no concrete element of it anywhere on my computer. Nevertheless, the redirects still occur.
This...whatever it is, is effectively rendering FireFox and IE useless, as all searches, links, bookmarks, and history pages are all redirected to conduit-sponsored searches. The only way I am able to open links is via directly inputting urls into the address box.
Additionally, not sure if this is related, but frequently, my browser will refuse to load any sort of flash application or streaming video. I believe this might be related.
One final note, I recently removed a major virus, Antispyware Soft, from my laptop. I am fairly confident I have removed all occurances and related files of this virus, though I suspect the conduit issue is related to it.

Every time Firefox opened
Dragging it off the dock shouldn't have removed it, I have done this with mine because it isn't a program I use all the time, I work with RAW data from my camera all the time so I end up using Photoshop and Bridge to view mine. However, moving mine from the dock, I'm still able to find it and run it from the Applications folder. If you have removed it, you should be able to reinstall it, however, we need to know what version of OS X you are running to help show you how to install it again. Please follow the directions from the posts above and let us know what version you are running.

my iPhone hasn't turned on in two days and none of the solutions i have looked up worked. i need all the help i can get. this matter is very urgent!
Before we can help you we will need more information. Did you try to reset the phone while it was charging by holding the power button and home button until you saw the apple then let go? Please give a summary of what you have attempted, any error messages, what do you see on the screen, if anything.

After downloading Maverick on the MacBook Pro that I bought in 2011, I am unable to open iPhoto. The message says "You can't use this version of the application "iPhoto" with this version of OS X. You have "iPhoto" 9.2.3" What??? That is ridiculous. Why doesn't Maverick download everything? I've tried the "fixes" I found on this forum, but none of them work for me, because there is no workaround via the library. I can't access the library.
I have an old iPhoto version and it still works with Mavericks, the version before yours, that is puzzling.

There is no pop-up blocking, but none of the "new window" type links are working.
When I would like to open a picture(for example: ebaying, and enlarging the product -> comes in another window) I get empty new screen. I also have problems with Adobe(pdf files are not opening). I changed back to 3.6.10 but problem still persists. Seems like I cannot open anything where I see on the bar: javascript:;
Thanks for any suggestion! I really do not want to change browser!* "Clear the Cache": Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
* "Remove the Cookies" from sites that cause problems: Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

I like to keep several tabs open while I'm working. I have friends who do this with no noticeable effect on their computer speed. My Task Manager consistently shows a huge amount of memory being used by firefox, increasing as I keep my browser open. Closing tabs doesn't help, and I've tried about a dozen "fixes" that I've found online. Thanks for your help.

It looks like the app is not currently in the App Store, I can't find it in the UK nor US stores.

Every time Firefox opened
== it started a week agoWhy is Flash now so unstable in Firefox? The Flash has crashed indicator is now a familiar visitor (it generally goes when I refresh the page so it's not hugely fatal!) But . . . I am having to go back to IE to check the reliability with my own sites - which are heavily dependent on flash for animation and video. What can be done? My Firefox and Flash installations are kept up to date. Really disappointing.

None of the fact sources for [column] are compatible with the detail filter
Hi Experts,
I am using obiee 11.1.1.7.
Getting below error when i add a filter of non conformed dimension column.
Below is the error
Error Details
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 43119] Query Failed: [nQSError: 14023] None of the fact sources for [column] are compatible with the detail filter
Please help in solving an issue.

You need to follow steps in below link to model your BMM layer for the report to work with non confirmed dimensions.
http://obibb.wordpress.com/2010/05/31/multiple-fact-reporting-on-non-conforming-dimensions/
Once you have followed these steps you can use the non confirmed dimension in the reports.When you see the logs to see the query generated by obiee,it generated 2 queries 1 with confirmed dimension and other with non conformed dimension.When you filter using non confirmed dimension you will now not notice any error but the results will not be filtering out because the filter will be applied only in 1 query which is valid
Now for this to work what you can do is ,instead of using the filter drag the column you like to filter as a prompt in your view.default it to the value you need using the case statement and hide it.This is one of the work around.
There may be many other work arounds for this but you need to understand that for you requirment to work you need to tweek OBIEE to generate 1 query instead of 2 queries. -
Keep receiving error when trying to change device on my verizon. Unfortunately, none of the lines on your account are eligible to receive the Online Authorization Code.
Unable to change device on account.That would be great if they weren't 2 different size SIM cards.
The code is a security feature and I realize this. It is to prevent someone from hacking your account and changing your devices without your knowledge. However, I am the account owner and I know exactly what is going on with my account at all times. I check data usage AT LEAST 2 times daily and I log into my account at least once daily. I would very quickly discover any issues. This feature is more of a (removed)

why my Iphone 5 goes into search for days and the only way to get it working is to reset it via itunes. i am on EE network
Try a SMC reset:

Try a NVRAM/PRAM reset:

If no joy, take it back, and take full advantage of your warranty!
You also may want to let Apple know about this as well:

I am looking for an app that can unmute my iphone after a preset time, eg 1 or 2 hours. Does anybody know an app with this feature?? The apps I have found are linked to a calendar or a place, I just need the timer function..
thanks. yes i am aware of the VoiceOver feature but it is NOT the solution to my problem. as you said, it is a solution to a different set of issues. i want the text to speech ability because i there are books i need to read but do not have the time to sit down and read them and have become used to listening to them read to me either by a professional human reader or with the text to speech software on the Kindle.
I think Apple makes the best audio devices but i am really disappointed in this inexplainable shortcoming. if apple can give us siri they ought to be able to design a nice little button that i can push to turn on text to speech while i am in a document, book, magazine or webpage. clearly it is possible as apple has added the "reader" button in safari to have web pages dropped into the reader format.
thanks for your suggestion though, it is what everyone suggests but it does not address the issue. -

i am having bugs with the ios 5, after it got the update it is unable to make outgoing calls. in-place the incoming and outgoing texts are working please help me asap...!
Sometimes and this is network dependant if they suspect the phone to be lost or stolen as in this case with change of Sim card and provider then the origonal network can and some will block the phone untill you have rang them and proven it's not the case or if you have bough this 2nd hand then the origonal seller may have stopped paying the contract bill and thus the phone is blocked
