BAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!  I beat you to it!

 

But there is still no Default folder.  Only the one I changed to Default Backup.

OK.  I made the folder.  Opened Chrome and navigated to 2 pages.  Went back and the folder is there but it's still empty.  Now what?

Ok bizarre. Delete the new default folder we made and rename the Default Backup folder back to Default so we are back where we started. I will use 2 tools instead to clean Chrome.

First I want you to open the ADWcleaner you downloaded from CNET and select Uninstall I want you to download the 2 tools using only the links I provide you. Click the links and the downloads will start automatically :)

1. Run ADWcleaner
  • Using this link Download ADWcleaner and save to Desktop.
  • Right click ADWcleaner and Run as Administrator then select Scan
  • Once the scan is complete click Clean
  • A reboot will be asked for click O.K
  • On reboot a log will be produced, please post in your next reply.
  • Shut down your protection software now to avoid potential conflicts.
  • Right-mouse click JRT.exe and select Run as Administrator.
  • The tool will open and start scanning your system.
  • 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.
  • Post the contents of JRT.txt into your next message.
Open Chrome and tell me if its behaving after you run both tools.

Behaving fine, i never had a chrome specific problem though. It was all browsers. Now if we need to do anything else I'll need to do it in the morning. I gotta hit the sack for the night.
