"MyStart Incredibar" is a very annoying "toolbar" or browser extension that can affect the way you use the Internet in an annoying way. Unfortunately, you cannot get rid of the extension simply by clicking a button. To completely remove "MyStart Incredibar" from your device, follow the steps below.

To step

Method 1 of 5: Remove the program behind the toolbar

1. Open your Control Panel. Click on Start and select "Control Panel" from the menu. Under "Programs" select "Programs and Features" (Windows 7). Under Windows XP, choose "Add / Remove Programs". Make sure all windows of your browsers are closed.
   • Under Windows 8, press the Windows key + X and select "Programs and Features".
2. Search for "Incredibar" and "Web Assistant". Incredibar is installed as two separate programs, so it can be difficult to remove the toolbar. Make sure to remove both programs.
   • Incredibar may also show up under the names "Incredibar Games", "Incredibar Music" or "Incredibar Essentials".
3. Delete the programs. Select the programs from the list and select "Remove". This will remove the program behind the toolbar, but you still have to remove the extension per browser.

Method 2 of 5: Delete the MyStart settings on Internet Explorer

1. Remove the MyStart search engine. Click the gear icon in the top right corner. Select "Manage Add-ons" from the menu. In the window that now opens, select "Manage search engines". Remove "MyStart Search" and "Incredibar" from the list. Make sure to always delete both items.
2. Change your homepage. Click the gear icon again and select "Internet Options". In the "General" tab, delete the MyStart address in the Home section and fill in the home page of your choice. Click on "Apply" to save your changes.
3. Delete your browser data. Under the "General" tab of "Internet Options", click the "Delete ..." button under the browsing history to delete your cookies. This will delete all cookies that are linked to MyStart.

3. Change your homepage. Click on the Firefox menu and select "Options". Under the "General" tab you can enter a new address next to "Homepage:".
4. Reset your preferences. Type the address "about: config" in the address bar and press Enter. Confirm that you want to continue, then type "mystart" in the search field above the list that appears. Now you will see a list of preferences changed by MyStart. Right click on each item and select "Reset".
5. Delete your browser data. Click on the Firefox menu, hover your mouse over "History" and select "Delete Recent History". In the window that now opens, change the time period to "All", below that check "Cookies", "Buffer" and "Navigation & download history". Click on "Delete Now".

Method 4 of 5: Delete the MyStart settings on Chrome

1. Remove the Incredibar extension. Click the menu button in the top right corner of the window. The button looks like three horizontal lines. Select "More Tools" and then "Extensions". Look for the Incredibar extension and click the trash can icon next to it to remove it.
2. Remove the MyStart search engine. Click the menu button at the top right again and select "Settings". Under "Search" click on "Manage search engines".

Make sure that at least "Cookies and other site and plug-in data", "Cached images and files" and "Browsing history" are checked and that the time period is set to "first use". Click the "Clear Browsing History" button to delete everything.

Method 5 of 5: Delete the MyStart settings in Registry Editor

1. Open Registry Editor. Click Start and then Run. Type "regedit" in the text box and click "Run". This will open the Registry Editor program. Be careful, if you delete something that you are not sure what it is, the system may not work properly afterwards.
   • On Windows 8, press Windowskey + X and select "Run". Type "regedit".
2. Search for MyStart and Incredibar. You will find them in various places in the registry. Look for the following items in HKEY_CURRENT_USER and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE:
