You most likely have inadvertantly installed some malware from some download site., nasty toolbar or browser extension. you need to find the program ,extension or toolbar and uninstall it from your computer. conduit is a particular nasty malware thet I have seen on nearly every computer I have fixed for somebody that was using up 100% of its processor. Advertisers get paid for every click you make on their web sites so what they do is take control of your browser and use up all of your prosessing power to repeatedly click on their ads. Ruining your day because you can\'t get anywhere on your computer and scamming the real advertisers.
I have used "perfect uninstaller" to remove the nasty programs. you can download a free trial at prefectuninstaller.net . dont use softronic or any of the other hacked download sites like bittorrent.
oovoo, music downloads, free movies, porn sites, and anyprogram with the word ad in it should be removed from your computer. I usually start by opening up internet explorer with no addons in safe mode. then remove chrome,firefox or any other browser left, then i uninstall adobe and java. and any other nasty programs while not conneted to the internet. then reinstall java , adobe only from the developer web site. getting rid of all the trash is going to take several hours. or you can do a factory restore which will take just as long.
I hope this helps. and be very careful what you download, there are a lot of scams like popups that say your computer is at risk. and free downloads that bite.

This may vary depending on your operating system.
