All done but i still can not uninstall google chrome

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

Did you try going to Task Manager, closing all chrome.exe instances and then trying to uninstall Chrome?

 

[thedarkhippy]

No I had not. I have done this now there was about four chrome.exe running. I closed these and then was able to uninstall chrome. I have reinstalled it and so far it seems to be working properly. Thank you so much for all your help. Do you think my computer is clean now?

Yep. netflix was running for over an hour and only lost connection once. This is totally different to it freezing on chrome.
