How To Remove mystart.incredibar

Here we go again. If it's not Babylon taking over our browsers it's Incredibar.

It allows you to search the web. But who needs it if we have Google? No one can compete.

It also allows you to play games and listen to music. We have our own ways of accessing games and listening to music. Once again - don't need it.

You might have heard or read that Incredibar is a virus. It's not. It's powered by Google. I don't know what they are thinking, though. This is so unnecessary. Incredibar "users" don't even know what it is. So once seen, our first reaction would be to get rid of it.
