How do I remove these “Search Protect by Conduit files - cltmng.exe file & cltmngui.exe”? All my on-line searches came up empty with a DIY means of getting ride of this and my Avast! Internet Security subscription has not detected it on my computer.

If after the install of this pest your browser fails to upload. I experienced such cases. It is preferable to do the uninstall under guidance of a qualified remover here. Go here and provide us with the required logs: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0

Hi all,
Any PUP software (we usual call them as adware) should be removed first (when is possible) from Control Panel. The build in uninstaller should remove all traces in registry and related files.
Anyway, both AdwCleaner and Malwarebytes uses some of his heuristics to target any bad Conduit product therefore they should (shall) remove the PUP or leftovers in system and browsers.
Btw, if you decide to use force removal (not uninstall from CP as you should first to try) then run Malwarebytes first as AdwCleaner may have a quite large range of detection but it can not measure with force power that MBAM uses.
Edit:
I did not see the date of post, my mistake.

Search Protect by Conduit
This program showed up on my computer located in the task bar. The installation of this malware was not detected by Avast nor was it detected by MalwareBytes that I have installed.
However I did find the program folder on my “C” drive and did a scan with Avast and the result said no virus or malware was found. Additional scan with MalwareBytes did detect numerous “PUP” type viruses that the folder contained.
Upon this discovery & doing some online investigation, I am happy I did not try to just “uninstall” the malware as it can really foul up the boot process & not give access to windows.
Further research at “Bleeping Computers” I downloaded a scanner program called “JRT.EXE” which removed the malware entirely.
My question is this: WHY DID NOT AVAST DETECT THIS MALWARE PROGRAM PREVIOUS TO IT’S INSTALLATION???
DID I WASTE MY MONEY ON AVAST???
