It's not Google Chrome, it's the web sites you visit, naughty boy,,

Might I ask which anti virus you use.

[andy-hughes]

I use Google Chrome and I have no issue with viruses - as advised, it may not be GC that is the cause of your problems.

Getting rid of Chrome was the only way I could get rid of Mcafee pop ups some time back. Scammers use the Mcafee name a lot. I've been trouble free since.

what "viruses" have had & what was their effect?

[ToraToraTora]

chrome is just the browser it's more likely the dodgy sites you've been visiting. I suggest a malware protector of some sort.

I have been using Firefox and Brave for ages, to the point that I didn't need GC. Anyway a few months ago, I was experiencing problems with my 2 browsers, yeh too much hard porn ! Lol

That I thought why not give GC another try!! Within seconds of downloading it I was getting countless pop ups Inc those dodgy ones !! I instantly deleted it!!

I never get pop ups in Chrome or any browser.  I don't know what I'm doing differently to you - except avoiding dodgy sites

16.50 barry, if you call footie and food/restaurants/travel shows dodgy, then thats why!!

any road up, i have downloaded GC ✌ hopefully no more blooming problems!!
