Google Chrome
I mentioned it before in another thread somehwere, but I figured since there wasn't much worthwhile being posted lately I could put something at least remotely useful up here...
Anywho, don't install Google Chrome and if you already have DO NOT uninstall Google Chrome. Cleaning out some programs I didn't use any longer, I uninstalled Google Chrome on my PC. Immediately every time I performed a search on Google, every result I would click on popped up nothing except ads. Tried Yahoo! and a few others... same thing... legitimate results, click, only ads. First I thought I had a virus of some sort, but after running a few scans and whatnot, nothing. I had been running dual boot with XP Pro and XP64, so I ran XP64 and everything was fine. I was able to search and find out that Google Chrome has been linked with this sort of issue. Pages upon pages of people with the same or similar problems after installing and/or uninstalling Chrome... Some had success deleting all remnants of the program throughout the system... that just fucked up things further for me. Others were able to reinstall and have everything work fine. No go for me on that front either. Nothing fucking worked... even installing other browsers. Nothing. So fuck it, I formatted my primary HD and rocked a fresh install of XP earlier this week. Everything is fuckin' cash money now... Nothing is more satisifying than having a fresh install on a machine... runs buttery smooth, boots retard fast, and finally fucking works. Moral of the story... FUCK Google Chrome. |
