I downloaded a program from Cnet last night and now have the Iminent search tab on my browser (Chrome).

I uninstalled Iminent using control panel, but the search tab is still there.

I've googled how to get rid of it, but there are so many answers that I don't know who to believe.

Malwarebyte's is missing it and so is MSE.

HELP!!!

Did you try this?

Click on a wrench icon (top right of the screen), select "Tools" and click on "Extensions".  Locate "Iminent", select it and click on a trash can icon. To change your homepage from search.iminent.com to you preferred - click on the wrench icon, select "Settings". In "On startup" section click "set pages", hover your mouse over search.iminent.com and click the x symbol. Now you can add your preferred website as your homepage.

Iminent doesn't show up as an extension.

Try CCleaner or JetClean or Spybot S&D or AdAware.

Had a couple  toolbars my mom got on her machine, after looking what it would take to get rid of them i just copied all her links and deleted the browser and reloaded. much easier.

That's what I did.

Got rid of Chrome, then reinstalled it.  No more Iminent.
