Hi ..

Not sure if AdwareMedic removes the Conduit Community toolbar.



Locate the files in bold print and move them to the Trash. The first five are in your root /Library



/Library/Application Support/Conduit


/Library/InputManagers/CTLoader


/Library/ScriptingAddtions (anything CTLoader realted)


/Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg


/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle




The next one is in your Home folder.


~/Library/Application Support/Conduit


When you're done, try Safari.

Just one note: be aware that some of the things that BitDefender found appear to be parts of the installer. AdwareMedic will only remove installed adware, it doesn't try to search your whole hard drive for things that aren't installed or installers sitting in a Downloads folder somewhere. Be sure to find that installer and remove it. It should be a .dmg file that, when opened, causes a volume named "InstallOptimizer" to appear on your desktop and/or Finder window sidebar. The name of that .dmg file may vary, so I can't say what it's likely to be named.
