[QUOTE="Jack, post: 1026528, member: 1"] When Chrome Sync is turned on, most browser settings – [U]including any unwanted extensions or search hooks[/U] – are stored in the Google Cloud, so that your Chrome browsing experience is consistent on all devices you log in to your Google account with. To fix this, you will need to reset Chrome Sync. Here’s how: [LIST=1] [*]Open Google Chrome [*]Click your Profile in the top right corner of your browser screen (next to the three dots) [I]A small window will open in the top right corner[/I] [*]Click [B]Sync is On[/B] [I] A new browser window will open to allow you to change your Google account settings[/I] [*]Click [B]Turn Off[/B] at the top [I]A small confirmation window will appear in the middle of your browser window[/I] [*]Click [B]Turn Off[/B] again to confirm that you wish to stop syncing to the Google cloud [I]The confirmation window will close, returning you to the Google account settings screen. This will also sign you out of Google.[/I] [*]Next, open [icode]https://chrome.google.com/sync[/icode] [I] A Google login screen will be shown in your browser window.[/I] [*]Enter your Google username and password [I]The "Data from Chrome sync" screen will be displayed to show basic information on what information is being synchronized to the cloud[/I] [*]Scroll to the bottom and click [B]Reset Sync [/B][I]A window will be displayed to let you know that synchronization to Google’s cloud will now be stopped.[/I] [*]Now run a Scan with Malwarebytes and remove any detections found during the scan. [/LIST] Afterward, you can turn Sync back on in Chrome. [LIST=1] [*]Open Google Chrome [*]Click your Profile in the top right corner of your browser screen (next to the three dots) [*]Click [B]Turn on Sync[/B][I] A confirmation window will be displayed in the center of your browser screen[/I] [*]Click [B]Yes I’m In[/B]. [I]That’s all there is to it, unless you're having other issues with Chrome. Please see below for further adjustments if needed.[/I] [/LIST] [B]REMINDER[/B]: If you use Chrome to log in to [B][U]any[/U][/B] Google service from [B][U]any[/U][/B] other computer, please follow these steps before turning on Chrome sync on those computers as well. [B]Failure to do this will cause issues or problems to continually reoccur.[/B] [/QUOTE]
