IncrediFind

Overview
IncrediFind is an Internet Explorer browser helper object that hijacks your error page.

Files
incfindbho.dll

Try just running adaware to remove it and have a look here: ht*p://computercops.biz/postitle14364-0-0-.html

your best best is to remove spyware from add/remove programs first...for example:
ncase
savenow
bonzibuddy
gator
new.net
pad lookups
sah agent
my web
my bar
search bar
any type of search bar/companion
etc...

then download spybot from download.com for free. Update it, use the immunizer, then run a check and clean out the rest of the spyware. it will also check your registry.

bingo...problem solved.

Spybot Search and Destroy usually cleans all the scumware out. As noted, it also checks the Registry for errors. You can also set start-up programs. All in all, it's a great program.

If you download it, check for updates before you run it for the first time... the stock download doesn't come with the latest "detection rules".

Unfortunately my computer tech couldn't get rid of incredifind no matter what--it wouldn't allow us to download any program on the internet and even when he used his spybot program-the program couldn't find it and get rid of it--now I am having the whole hard drive cleaned and put my date files back on--I noticed today on another computer using internet explorer that findcom tried to attach to one of the websites I was trying to view--what is with internet explorer? Do most of you use netscape instead or does this problem of adding spyware happen on all browsers?
