What is start.iminent.com?

You may find that start.iminent.com has replaced your regular start page and default search provider. In case you have agreed with the changes you may think that this search engine is reliable and possibly even beneficial. According to Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers, it is important to stay cautious about this search tool, especially if it has hijacked your browsers illegally. Even though in most cases browser settings modifications are presented in one way or another, there is a possibility that the seemingly regular search engine has been activated as a browser hijacker. Whether you have downloaded the suspicious search tools yourself or they have been infiltrated without your knowledge, we recommend that you delete start.iminent.com from the system. Continue reading to learn how to perform this task.

Do you need to delete start.iminent.com?

Have you accidentally set start.iminent.com as your homepage after clicking the ‘Set as homepage’ button presented on the search page? If this is not the way the search tool has accessed your Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer browsers, there is a great chance that you have installed the Iminent toolbar, Iminent emoticons, Iminent smileys and other company’s products. It is most likely that during the installation of these applications you have been offered to use start.iminent.com as the default web search tools. In case these optional offers were set as automatic you may have missed a chance to refuse them. Ultimately, it does not matter how this search engine entered the PC, and all your attention should be focused on the way it works.

In case you have already used the tool to browse the web, it should be clear to you that it is supported by Yahoo. Depending on the search module you use you may get routed to maps.yahoo.com, mail.yahoo.com, news.search.yahoo.com or calendar.yahoo.com. Only the Web search is supported through the Iminent Start Search. Some of the presented search results could be advertisements supported and we advise that you ignore any pop-up, in-text or other supported adverts. Since these are presented by third party advertisers there is a great possibility that the objectives behind seemingly interesting offers are not to be trusted. Note that this can prevent the expose of your Windows security vulnerabilities.
