HOW TO REMOVE MYSTART EXTENSION FROM BROWSER

This Incredibar rubbish can be very annoying; it is normally a browser hijack that can tamper with your normal way of surfing the net. Don’t think that the Mystart Incredibar is one that you can easily fire from your system by clicking the uninstall button, normally it is gotten from ads placed on sites asking you to download thing like system cleaner (your pc is getting low boost it now) if you have fallen into this trap ones, you should have this annoying browser rubbish by now; it makes you agree to certain conditions, gain certain access to your system and before you know it, you are in for the most annoying hijack of the century.

Let’s get into business:

Step 1:

Open your control panel

    Click the start button and select control panel from the menu, click on “uninstall a program”, for windows xp users, select add/remove programs. #make sure your browser is not open

·        For windows 8, press the windows key + X and select programs and features.


Step 2:

Look for incredibar and web assistant:

Most times, it may be installed as two separate programs. In any case make sure you remove all programmes related to it.

·        It can be called incredibar(games, music or essentials)

Step 3:

Uninstall the programs: select the program(s) and select uninstall/remove. This won’t still do, you will have to remove it from your browser

Step 4:

Remove the possible ads installed in the same spot; you will see things like (pricicheck, adblocker, saleeplus etc.) whatever the name is, they display ads on your browser automatically when you access the net.

Step 5:

Now it’s time to remove the rubbish from your browser:
