Google Chrome connection issues

[mattthetechgeek]

Hi, I have Google Chrome and have had it for awhile now, but in the last two weeks it will randomley stop connecting to the internet and won't reconnect until computer restart... (I'm using IE right now because of it) and I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium, and have tried reinstalling Chrome, and have run a virus scan. Anybody have similar issues and a solution?

If possible, run #1 and #2 @ Simple and free guide to removing malware

What kind of connection do you have (wireless, cable, dial up..etc)?

Does it bring up a page, and then just lose connection? Or does it just fail to bring up a connection from the start?

Running Malwarebytes found the bug and deleted it, no problems since. Thanks!

Malwarebytes is great tool -- it should come pre-installed on every PC : )

Thanx for the vote : )

I work IT in a bank, and it's actually installed in our image to our PCs. We use Trend Micro for active scan, but we use Malwarebytes when we need to do an on demand scan.

Cool, is anything slipping through?

I haven't seen any infections slip past. Trend Micro is pretty solid. But if I suspect something has been compromised, I feel more comfortable with the Malwarebytes on demand scanner.

Didn't know that Trend Micro was used in business level like banking. What Firewall are u using?

I personally like Comodo for its simplicity and great prevention record....

We use McAfee for a web filter and firewall.

For a personal computer, Trend Micro may not be the best choice, but for an enterprise setup, it works well.
