Is this something I should be concerned about?
« 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?

hmmmm.
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.

Right clicking and selecting "Properties" says that it's from a site called imbui.iminent.com.  So maybe put that on your blacklist.

Have you recently installed some sort of instant messenger? If so, that could possibly be something to do with it.

Smells like adware to me. Locate it, remove it, and install adblock

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