MyStart by Incredimail

What is MyStart by Incredimail?

The Mystart.incredimail.com website is promoted using a popular email client called Incredimail. Developers of this free software bundle their program with a toolbar which alters Internet browser settings and causes redirects to mystart.incredimail.com

Note that the software alone is not technically considered a virus or malware, however, many computer users do not pay close enough attention to the installation steps and inadvertently install Incredibar toolbar, which displays unwanted ads (Coupon Buddy, etc.) and may cause significant security issues.

The Mystart.incredimail.com web search uses the Google search engine, but adds no value for its users as compared to an original Google search. Redirects to this website are added for monetization purposes only. Incredibar and its redirect to mystart.incredibar.com are especially annoying since the toolbar is installed together with a program called IB Updater.

This program 'protects' Internet browser settings and thus computer users are unable to change their homepage or default search engine to their individual preferences.

The Mystart.incredimail.com website displays unwanted ads that may lead to installation of malicious software, and furthermore, these ads may redirect to dubious websites that encourage users to take online surveys, etc.

If you have installed Incredibar toolbar unwillingly and find redirects to mystart.incredimail.com annoying, use this removal guide to eliminate these issues from your computer.
