Title: Is this something I should be concerned about?
Post by: Resetti's Replicas on April 09, 2012, 11:05:19 PM: I don't visit a lot of forums so I don't know where else to put this. Sometimes when I close up all my browser window, this thing will be hiding underneath. Google "IMinent" and "IMbooster" gave nothing. Is it a virus? I ask because the menu up top makes it look like it's not a Chrome window, but it only appears after a browsing session. I've run antivirus and uninstalled all non essential add-ons but it's still there. Anyone else who's experienced this problem?

try finding the directory it's installed to, deleting it and then restarting your machine.
i had a smilar problem with adware, it's a small matter.

It won't do any harm, but it is annoying as heck
