| Mystart Incredibar has hijacked my New Tab Page. How do I undo this? | Ralaren | 12/07/08 12:11 | I have (I think) gotten rid of incredibar via Spybot S&D but the settings it had previously hijacked still remain. I changed my default omnibox browser back to Google but my New Tab Page remains hijacked and sends me to Mystart Incredibar homepage. |

| Re: Mystart Incredibar has hijacked my New Tab Page. How do I undo this? | tjohns92109 | 12/07/11 12:40 | Found the answer for me. After looking through other configuration pages, I noticed on my extensions 'new tab page'. It doesn't mention mystart or incredibar so I didn't think to remove it. Now that that's fixed, I'll report cnet for malware now. |
