Nobody is immune.

I've been tied up with google over a deleted (I did it on purpose) post with 2 photos, also deleted. They are however searchable by google because I used his full name.
 Problem is the post was about my grandson (a minor). He did like the post, and even showed it to friends. But was upset that friends could google his name and see any picture of him at all.
Still fighting this battle. Hope it isn't going to take a lawyer.
Plus it took several hours to remove the conduit search from my browsers. It was a hitchhiker on a harmless file from my trusted (NEVER AGAIN) download site ' download.cnet.com  '. I got sloppy and didn't pay attention to the installation. 
I had to uninstall the files then track down all instances of files for conduit which included in the common files, app data, roaming local and local low. with that cleared I got Hijackthis from Sourceforge.com and was able to isolate the bad registry entries and delete them.
Happy to say I'm now back in control of my browsers.
