This is such an inconvenience. I am not happy that incredifind was installed on its own. This is a horrible program. They should give the consumer an option if they would like Incredifind or NOT

3. SPYWARE REMOVAL by heather 2005-02-25 06:02:02
i don't know why you all are saying that there are no free spyware removal softwares out there. try spybot search & destroy and adaware - both free, and both work good.

4. re: comment about IncrediFind by Tom. 2005-02-20 13:02:55

What a bunch of crap!!! Don't download Screensavers (Star Sky)! And don't even bother trying to get ahold of the assholes. (Having trouble Removing Incredifind-contact us),,,I'll contact ya alright but it won't be by email! Fuck Heads!

I generally don't have a problem as long as I know what I'm typing. It would be nice if all the downloadable spyware removers didn't involve spending cash. I don't have enough to fuck around with a computer program. If you want to help me, send me an e-mail with a link to a FREE spyware remover, and I mean totally free, as in i don't have to purchase it to have everything removed. E-mail is mncfrstyl@yahoo.com.

8. re: comment about IncrediFind by Corey. 2005-01-15 01:01:03
I ran the system that was recommended and rebooted, and I don't get those incredifind search pages anymore. But my main problem still exists. I type in web addresses that exist, and I'm told they don't. Here's an example:



I am at student at the University of Oklahoma and needed to use our e-mail service. The address is oumail.ou.edu. I type that in and it works fine. However, after typing in my ID and pw, it used to say it didn't exist and it took me to the incredifind search page. Now it just tells me the site doesn't exist. However, what I have noticed is that the prefix of the web address AFTER putting in my ID and pw changes to "https://". There is an s there that shouldn't be. That's what is screwing things up. What is the deal? Is something causing this?

9. The only thing to help me.... by Guest. 2005-01-04 22:01:48
I searched the web for days trying to find a way to get rid of this aweful program!!! I could not find any of the listed files to remove manually, nor could I find any spyware removal program to get rid of it. Until I found www.lavasoft.com. You can download a free copy of their program for personal use. Incredifind is gone from my computer forever!!!!!! I run it every day to keep any other pests out of my system. I hope this will work for everyone else as it has for me!!!!!

11. by Guest. 2004-12-22 05:12:14
Thank you incredifind for my new Trojan virus!!!

12. by Guest. 2004-12-15 13:12:44
I've tried the URL posted by no. 52. Seemed to work, but run Spyhunter again and it's still showing up!! Has everyone checked that it's actually been removed??

13. Guest 70 by Guest. 2004-12-10 23:12:49

14. Guest F by Guest. 2004-12-10 23:12:31
Guest 69 have you tried: http://download.centralserver.net/uninst/unsetup.exe
run the program when prompted and it should remove incredifind for good.

15. proposed solution by Guest. 2004-12-03 05:12:24
none of the signature indicated here are not found on my computer and I have unsuccesfully tried to remove it using the named program plus 6 more: none of them has worked!
And incrdifind is still alive on my laptop...

16. For XP Users by Guest. 2004-11-16 07:11:50
Well, I got this stupid thing on my PC this AM. I wanted nice Christmas screens...haha screensaverl.com is the culprit! Anyways if you are running XP, just restore to previous day and VOILA POOF bye bye INCREDIFIND! Spybot did not find it, but it found tons of other things added from the same site!

17. Guest F Again by Guest. 2004-11-12 19:11:55
I'm glad my posting (#52) has helped. After removal of incredifind you should run ad-aware 5.0 or later, as well as Spybot search and destroy. Both programs help clean out your system from adware. Make sure you update them often. These 2 programs work the best because they are free-ware...anything you downloand that is trial-ware will "show" you have more ad-ware on system then what actually is there....helps them sell and gets you to buy.

See comment #52. It seems to have worked!! THANK YOU!!

19. Agreed ^^ by Guest. 2004-11-05 08:11:52
If you're still having problems, check out Post 52 like the above person mentioned as well. Finally the only thing that has worked for me as well. Thank you! :)

20. Cure! by Guest. 2004-10-30 21:10:25
Posting number 52 has a link to uninstall, received right from the company. I copied and pasted, worried that I wouldn't be able to pull it up because stupid incredifind has screwed up my internet so bad...IT WORKED!!! So easy, I copied the link and pasted, 2 seconds later I got a message that said uninstall complete, pleast reboot, I clicked OK...when I came back on I tried to go to a website and BAM!! there it was!!!

Thank you so much!!!
