Chrome, on our our home computer, has been subverted by a browser hijacker that allways directs it to secure.conduit. It is quite annoying that the browser immediately goes to bing. It cannot be removed using the Chrome search engine option though I did delete some browsers I didn't want.
Does/Could SecureAnywhere deal with this and if so how?

Browser Hijacker

This DEFINITELY worked for "Guruofsearch" on Chrome, but I suspect that it will work for other browser hijackers and it also fixed my Internet Explorer.
I went to Chrome Help at this link:

It was EASY and QUICK! I was rid of "Guruofsearch" in no time.
Or you can go directly to the Chrome Cleanup Tool for Windows 7 thru 10.

"Clean Chrome of unwanted ads, pop-ups, & malware
If you're seeing some of these problems with Google Chrome, you might have unwanted software or malware installed on your computer:
It literally worked in seconds. I'm no expert, but I think it cleared the cache as all of my saved sign-ins were gone. A small price to pay. I hope you know all of your passwords . It also disabled my extensions, so enable any extensions that you're using.
I'm not even sure if there is any relation, but the "plugin" link for FlashPlayer still didn't work, so I went here:
https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/142064?hl=en
The link still doesn't do anything, but now when a FlashPlayer video comes up it asks me if I want to activate it. Goodbye plugin link, hello ask me on screen. That's good enough for me! I even like it better that way!
If anyone still has the problem, I hope it works for you. And YES, it's SAFE to use.

If you're seeing some of these problems with Google Chrome, you might have unwanted software or malware installed on your computer:
- Pop-up ads won't go away.
- Your Chrome homepage or search engine keeps changing or is not set to Google anymore.
- Unwanted Chrome extensions or toolbars keep coming back.
- You keep getting redirected to unfamiliar webpages."
