Hi, I think you should try system restore to revert your computer before your accidental installation. Your computer has been infected and this is the easiest safest way I know of bringing it back to a time when it worked.

System restore can remove all software installed after the restore date. It does not affect your saved files. System restore also reverts changes to your registry. You should remember the time when you installed that incredibar, and simply go back a week before (just to be safe).

IF you're running google chrome all you have to do is click on the wrench icon found on the upper right corner of the browse, once you click select "settings" unde the "basics" tab scroll down to "search" and click where it says "manage search engines" once there you will have to option to delete it

None of these replies worked for me, but I fixed it. The stupid mystart incredithingie it's a Chrome extension, just go to the wrench icon, select Settings, go to Extensions, find the extension corresponding to mystart incredibar (orange icon) and just click on the trash icon.

    I had the same issue for a couple of days. There are two things you need to do in order to fix this issue.
    First is uninstall the program from your computer, using the following steps:
    1)From your start menu access your control panel
    2)Click on Add/Remove Programs
    3)Scroll down and find the program for Mystart Incredibar (it has a similar name, but I don't know what it's called exactly)
    4)Click on the program then click on the "Remove" button. Follow the steps, if any, to remove the program from the computer.
    This will clear it from your computer.

    Next you need to change some settings in Google Chrome that Mystart changed for you (so nice of them...) following these steps:
    1)Click on the wrench on the top right corner of the browser, from here select options. This should bring up a new tab.
    2)In this tab there are two things you need to change: homepage and search. To change your homepage just remove the mystart link and type in google, it should bring up google's url, select this. Now move onto the search drop menu and select google. There is no need to select anything to confirm, just close the tab and you're done.

    Happened to me. I got curious on how to fix it and ended up fixing it.

    well you have two good answers here so far, also click start in the search panel type in "incredibar" and delete anything that comes up under that name.you can also delete it from your tool bar once on the internet. look for add ons, click that scroll to you find it and disable it.

    Go to wrench thing at the top right
    Click on Options
    Where it says "Search", click "Manage Search Engines..."
    Where it says "MyStart Incredibar", go to the right, and click on the "x" that show up
    Then click on Google, if you want that to be your default search engine

    Click start menu.
    Click all programs.
    Find the program you need. Right click. It should reveal an uninstall option.

    If this fails go through control panel instead. (After clicking Start menu)
    Click add remove programs.
    Find your program once it has populated the list.
    Select uninstall.
