how do i get rid of produtools_manuals_21 toolbar? Its got in and replaced Safari pages.
I've tried using time machine but it seems to have got itself into that also.
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
You have apparently acquired a piece of malware posing as an app, and on Google I have been unable so far to find a workable removable procedure. Can any of you others help?
Hope this helps 🙂
You installed the Conduit spyware. To remove it, select Go ▹ Go to Folder… from the Finder menu bar, then copy the following text into the box that opens:
~/Library/Application Support/Conduit
Delete the selected item, if it exists.
Now select Go to Folder… again and enter:
/Library
From the folder that opens, delete the following items, if they exist. You may be prompted for your login password.
Application Support/Conduit
InputManagers/CTLoader
LaunchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
ScriptingAdditions/ct_scripting.osax
Close the folder. Now select Go to Folder… again and copy:
/Applications/Toolbars
Delete that item. Close the Finder windows you opened. Log out and log back in.
Many thanks people including information the same as yours Linc that was on a related discussion. After a reboot everything went from the recycle bin. Wouldn't empty kept saying that the "program" was still operating.
Once again, thank you.

Here is what you do if you want unistall the unwanted malware.
1. Click
Safari
on the toolbar.
2. Click

Thank you Link for the help.
I did what u recommended, but there was one thing that I couldn't find /applications/toolbar.
Does this means this was not deleted.
