&gt; This is a relatively new phenomenon called spyware.&nbsp; It <BR>
&gt; was probably installed on your computer when you installed <BR>
&gt; Kazaa or clicked OK to a security popup on a site <BR>
&gt; somewhere.<BR>
&gt; <BR>
&gt; The easiest way to remove it is to use a tool called <BR>
&gt; SpyBot Search+Destroy, available free at http://www.safer->
&gt; networking.org<BR>
&gt; make sure you update it first, then immunize, then scan <BR>
&gt; for problems, that should remove your problem.<BR>

&gt; &gt;I can't go anywhere in IE 6.0.&nbsp; I start IE 6 and my home <BR>
&gt; &gt;page is www.cnn.com but now it only goes to <BR>
&gt; &gt;www.incredifind.com and locks up.&nbsp; I have Macfee firewall <BR>
&gt; &gt;and virus protection on.&nbsp; if I stop the IE page and try <BR>
&gt; to <BR>
&gt; &gt;go some place else it goes back to incredifind.&nbsp; How do I <BR>
&gt; &gt;remove this and KILL www.incredifind.com for everymore!&nbsp; <BR>
&gt; I <BR>
&gt; &gt;hate the B_____'s.&nbsp; I have searched my hard drive for <BR>
&gt; &gt;anything with incredifind in it and found none?<BR>
&gt; &gt;<BR>
