Thanks for the fresh logs!
[b]First, Reset Chrome Start URLS[/b]
If Chrome was giving you problems then the best thing to do is to manually check the settings and adjust them if you find anything you did not install or use any more. Our scanners / script programs can fix Chrome but by removing some things from outside of Chrome’s own settings, there is a chance of corrupting the user profile and making Chrome not start up properly.
Home Page - The Home Page is the page that the browser will open whenever you tell it start up. When you first open the browser, it loads your Home Page that is set in the browser’s properties. To change the Home Page for Google Chrome, follow these directions:
- Open Chrome and click on the menu button in the upper right corner of the browser. The Menu Button looks like three bars (see below).

- On the Menu that opens down, click on Settings to open the Settings page in Chrome.

- Look for the Appearance section in the Settings page and make sure the Show Home button box is checked. Then click on the blue Change next to New Tab Page.

- A box will pop up and allow you to either set a New Tab Page as your home page or type a URL address for a Home Page ( for example, you could enter www.google.com there to set Google as your home page). Click OK when you have made the setting you want and the box will close. Close the Settings page when you are done making the changes to the Home Page.
