How do I eliminate getting the "the current safari browser version does not support the community toolbar" message every time I open safari with my MacBook Pro.
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
You installed the Conduit spyware. To remove it, back up all data, then follow the instructions on this page:
Help Center | Community Toolbar
If those instructions don't work, proceed as follows.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Application Support/Conduit
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). From the Finder menu bar, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder…
Paste (command-V) into the box that opens, then press return. A Finder window should open with a folder named "Conduit" selected. If it does, delete the selected item.
Repeat with this line:
/Applications/Toolbars
Now you're deleting a folder named "Toolbars". You may be prompted for your login password. Next, copy this line:
/Library
I've seen a report that Conduit may be bundled with a scam "utility" called "MacKeeper." If you installed MacKeeper, you should remove it according to the developer's instructions. It's worthless and causes many problems reported on this site.
Linc's advice is spot on. You've most likely decided to add on a toolbar from a favorite website. And probably forgot about it. No extraneous toolbars are compatible with Safari. So it sits there, and messes with your Safari any chance it gets.
Instructions that Linc has given should work fine.
All the best.
