Welcome to the wonderful world of spyware. To remove Incredifind, download a copy of Spybot Search & Destroy.
I would highly recommend downloading a copy of Mozilla Firefox - use that instead of Internet Explorer and you'll have far fewer infections such as Incredifind.
There are many sites which purport to give directions on how to manually remove this annoying program as well, but this takes some computer expertise and can potentially be dangerous unless you know what you're doing.
Good luck!
