I have no idea how I downloaded, much less installed, a toolbar named "Free Ride" or "FreeRide" but it happened while I was on Facebook if that is a clue. I cannot find it as an add-on, etc, in FF. Cannot even find it in a search of my computer's hard drives. Any help removing it will be appreciated. FF version 3.6.17

From a Google search: free-ride toolbar Firefox

You may be able to simply uninstall the toolbar as one article mentions, but another article mentions additional problems, so you probably want to check everything.

Since the toolbar came from Conduit, it would be wise to protect your system
