Where do I go from here?

by markdavies1 . Updated 20 years, 10 months ago

I am a complete virgin to this site and this type of forum so please forgive me if I am in the wrong section and if so any advice to guide me to the correct one will be welcomed.

My problem is that I was following a link through google to locate a patch for a stategy game I have. The link took me to a site www.incredifind.com. I placed my info in their search box and that led me to another site (can’t remember name) but that is when all the problems started. I couldn’t find what I was looking for so I exited the site. Later when I came back to my PC I booted up IE only to find that it froze when trying to get to my deafult page (Google) and noticed in the bottom left hand corner that it was trying to find www.incredifind.com. I tried to visit other sites and exactly the same happend. I then went to my program files and regedit and deleted anything with incredifind mentioned. I then ran spyhunter and located anything that should not be there and deleted those files. Now when I run IE I get “this page cannot be displayed” with cannot connect to server again in the bottom left hand corner. I know that I had a proper connection for I could still send and receive emails. I have installed Mozilla Firefox to gain internet access again but I would still like to know what is wrong with my IE and is it possible to fix. I have even tried a system restore well before this incident occured but when I tried to connect, www.incredifind.com was still present. My IE had the servicepack 2 up date. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
