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.

Re: Sluggish Google Chrome
I think one or more of your files is hiding a nasty piece of malware that is using your computer.

Re: Sluggish Google Chrome
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.
