Every time I install Firefox, Conduit.com takes over as my home page. I have tried several ways to remove it, but it keeps coming back. It doesn't seem to effect Internet Explorer, however I don't like that browser and want to use Firefox. Please help.

You can also check in "Windows Control Panel > Programs" for recently installed programs (sort by "Installed on") to see if anything from Conduit or any other suspicious software shows up.

If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:
