    [Solved] Iminent pest in Firefox

    Using Firefox all is normal until I try to open a new tab using the + symbol.
    I then get a WOT page and a warning that this website is very unsafe. The new tab loads the url "start.iminent.com/StartWeb/1033/NewTab/NewTab.aspx "
    Search finds nothing. Any help on how to get rid of this pest?

    Ok, I understand. Basically it just says to uninstall the Iminent toolbar. BTW, I was just nominated MVP for the third year in a row for Consumer Security.

    Thanks for the answers guys, I had forgotten about MWB. That got rid of it after two scans.
