Sluggish Google Chrome

[OilCan]

Since late summer I have been plagued by Google Chrome running very slow or not responding at all - on both my work and my personal laptops. I did everything reasonable to fix it (turned off extensions, cleaned browser history, cleaned hard drive, re-installed fresh version, upgraded JAVA, and so many other things) but it either didn't work or it soon returned to its sluggish ways. I have spent hours and hours on forums looking for a cure. There are hundreds of others apparently suffering from the same problem. I had to start using Internet Explorer on my personal laptop. My work laptop requires Chrome for some applications so I have had to endure it.

Late last night I think I found the cure. It is the profile folder. It has to be dumped and a new one started. I'm not sure if others on this forum have suffered from a sluggish Chrome browser. I'd be glad to share how I fixed it, actually how I copied another's posting on how to fix it.

I think one or more of your files is hiding a nasty piece of malware that is using your computer.

Make sure that you post in the correct forum section ... it'll just be your request for help and then follow their instructions.

BEEN THERE ... DONE that

Thanks for the malware warning. I did scan after scan on both laptops and yes, on my personal laptop found some. I'm fairly sure its not malware, but who knows....it might be.

I looked at your tax events earlier today. Nice work.
