MyStart.Incredibar.com is Part of a Well-Known Online Scam
One of the most common online scams consists of setting up fake search engines that are designed to display nothing but advertisements. Computer users carrying out searches on these malicious websites will find that results are irrelevant to their search, composed of little more than advertisements for dodgy online websites and companies promoting known online scams (such as rogue anti-virus applications or pharmaceuticals of doubtful origin). If the scam stopped there, MyStart.Incredibar.com would be a relatively benign website. However, criminals use a browser hijacker to take over the victim's computer system, forcing it to visit MyStart.Incredibar.com repeatedly. This translates into more page hits for their fake search engine, which in turn means that their advertising profit is artificially boosted.
Malware Related to MyStart.Incredibar.com Takes over Your Computer
