.
incredifind is an Internet Explorer browser helper
object. Seems to be a variant of spyware KeenValue.
It is puzzling though that IE will work and go to other
sites.

Did you run Spybot and Ad-aware?

If you are comfortable with manual deletion:
Manual Deletion: AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Start the registry editor (regedit)
Delete 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Classes \ CLSID \
{5D60FF48-95BE-4956-B4C6-6BB168A70310}', if it exists.
Delete 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \
Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ Browser Helper
Objects \ {5D60FF48-95BE-4956-B4C6-6BB168A70310}', if it
exists.
Exit the registry editor.

Restart your computer.

Start Windows Explorer and delete:
%ProgramsDir%\IncrediFind\BHO\incfindbho.dll
Note: %ProgramsDir% is a variable (?). By default, this
is C:\Program Files.
Start Microsoft Internet Explorer.
In Internet Explorer, click Tools -> Internet Options.
Click the Programs tab -> Reset Web Settings.
 
Hi Gerry

Try this open a web page and paste this in the address bar "http://www.incredifind.com/downloads/remove.exe" (without quotes) and then you should get a file download window. Click on open to run the uninstaller for the web page. This should fix it

If it still does not work download a good adware scanner like Ad-Aware<www.lavasoftusa.com> and run a complete scan on your system
