Welcome to Major Geeks!

Does the problem only happen with Chrome? Please do not say "I only use Chrome"! Test Internet Explorer too. May times these problems occur only in Chrome or Firefox which are very susceptible to issues like this. Chrome does not have a simple reset to defaults like other browers which makes a reinstall become necessary at times. But let's try the below to see what happens.


Uninstall the below old versions of Java:
Java(TM) 6 Update 22
Java(TM) 6 Update 31

Please download OTM by Old Timer and save it to your Desktop.

• Run it by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista, Win7, or Win8, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator).
• Copy the lines from the below codebox to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C
  (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose Copy): Do not include the word Code: which is just a title line of
  the code box

Code:

:Processes
explorer.exe

C:\Windows\TEMP\*.*

• Return to OTM, right click in the Paste List of Files/Folders to Move window (under the yellow bar
  ) and choose Paste.
• Now click the large http://forums.majorgeeks.com/chaslang/images/MoveIt!.png button.
• If OTM asks to reboot your computer, allow it to do so. The report should appear in Notepad after the reboot.
• Close OTM.

Now navigate to the C:\_OTM\MovedFiles folder ( assuming your Windows drive is C). This is where your log will be
saved in the form of Date and Time mmddyyyy_hhmmss.log. Just look for the most recent .log file. Attach
this log file to your next message.

Now please download Junkware Removal Tool to your desktop.

• Shut down your protection software now to avoid potential conflicts.
• Run the tool by double-clicking it. If you are using Windows Vista or Seven, right-mouse click it and select Run as Administrator.
• The tool will open and start scanning your system.
• Note: That JRT may reset your home page to a google default so you will need to restore your home page setting if this happens.
• Please be patient as this can take a while to complete depending on your system's specifications.
• On completion, a log (JRT.txt) is saved to your desktop and will automatically open.
• Attach JRT.txt to your next message.

Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista or Win7, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator).

Then attach the below logs:

• the C:\_OTM\MovedFiles log
• the JRT.TXTlog
• C:\MGlogs.zip

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

 

You're welcome.

Okay then since your problem is really a Google Chrome problem, do the below:

• Backup/export your bookmarks if you need them
• Uninstall Chrome and reboot
• After reboot, delete the below folder
  • C:\Users\Tiffany\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome
• Redownload and reinstall Chrome using IE if you still want Chrome. You can get it here: Google Chrome 27.0.1453.94 Stable
• Import your saved bookmarks

Is it working okay now?
