Robyrob-Help! Google Chrome problems

[Penny Lane]

Lately Google chrome is very slow and crashes a lot. Is this a problem with chrome or is it my computer?It's SO annoying! Anybody else having problems?If you see this Roby any ideas why it crashes all the time?

it could be a bunch of different things - spyware/malware/etc, a java or flash update or conflict, a problem with a browser add-on or plug-in.

- update and run your antivirus first to make sure everything there is OK

- download, update and run Malwarebytes - Quick Scan option

- reinstall the most current version of java; uninstall & remove all the older versions first from the Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel (or there is a good tool here to do it automatically)

- uninstall Flash completely with the Flash uninstaller - close ALL other programs before you run this. the Flash plug-in is built into Chrome so you'll need to make sure that it is up-to date with Plugin Check - update any that need it.

- clean out all of your temp files with CCleaner

- you can then download and reinstall the most current version of Java

- Chrome should be updated automatically, but you can check for updates manually, go to the blue wrench menu (top-right) >> 'About Google Chrome'. It'll check for updates there, and present you with an "Update now" button if an update is available.

if you are still having a problem with it after that, I would completely uninstall and reinstall Chrome.
