Malware - as said before i don't have anti-virus, so should I install one to check this? Are they crazy? Hell yes have an AV. Also malware - you should have antispyware in addition to the antivirus. |

Lol, OK will talk to the bosses about getting that installed :) They reckoned didn't need it coz their Apple's have never been infected (or so they say) RE suggestions, thanks. I will try some of them on Monday when I'm back in the office. |

| 1289407 | 2012-07-23 04:41:00 | I would fully remove Chrome, clear any leftover profiles and things (Use one of those funny Mac cleaner apps too) and then reinstall. That fixed it for me last time that happened (On Windows), it was due to corrupt files... I looked on Google's forum how to do that, interesting thing is, it suggests to remove the Chrome folder from user>library>application support>google>chrome but there is no Chrome folder in there! |
