A lot of users consider Sweetdreams-49 to be a browser hijacker, because it changes default home page and search engine to search.conduit.com. However, this modification takes place only if you allow it. This is not a browser hijacker, because Sweetdreams-49 prompts you about the oncoming changes, and you are the one who allows the home page and the search engine to be changed. Sadly, some users go through the installation process automatically without even reading what the installation wizard has to say.

The main problem with Sweetdreams-49 is that it may be related to malware. It is not a computer infection itself, but the search engine and the toolbar could be exploited for malware distribution, and therefore, it is wise to remove Sweetdreams-49 from your PC as soon as possible.
