And when running the Uninstaller doesn't work ( it still shows up in my system tray after uninstall) what can I do after that.

    Hi, I also have had this happen to me, and although I remove it (following all instructions), no matter what, some days later it again becomes my default page and search engine in both IE and Chrome ? This has happened more than 10 times...Any ideas to remove this once and for all would be welcome.

    Iminent is a malicious redirect virus that could cause great damage to the compromised computer. Any removal delay may result in disabling the web browser/browsers. You could search some related removal instructions online or ask online virus removal experts for instant help.
