Chosen solution

You can 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.

You can for conduit prefs on the about:config page and reset user set (bold) TEXT prefs via the right-click context menu to the default value.
