Seems like chrome should have been fixed for 64Bit by now. That is the correct fix that was being given though.

I use Chrome with Windows 7, 64 bit and have for over a year. I have never experienced any slow down or any other problem. If you presently have it installed, I suggest you uninstall and then download and install again. You should not be having any problems caused by Chrome.

I notice most of the responses in the link that you cited are quite old.

I've downloaded it and installed it twice. It still causes my computer to slow down.

What happens when you run that fix you asked about in your first post. Have you tried it?

What could be happening is that the Google updater (which got installed as part of chrome) did not get uninstalled, as most of the symptoms you report match up with its behavior. I've read several reports of others having this issue, and I haven't seen a solution yet.

In the meantime (assuming this is indeed the cause), you can kill google updater by stopping the process. Need instructions on stopping the process or disabling it let me know.

I ran the fix and the computer was still much slower than with IE or Firefox.

I did a search on the computer and uninstalled everything that came up that was affiliated with Google.

The only other thing I could do is look at a hijackthis log and see what's running on the computer.

Click Here to download HJTInstall.exe
Save HJTInstall.exe to your desktop.
Doubleclick on the HJTInstall.exe icon on your desktop. Right click the Hijackthis Icon and Run as Adminstrator if you use Vista or Windows 7
By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Trend Click on Install.
It will create a HijackThis icon on the desktop.
Once installed, it will launch Hijackthis.
Click on the Do a system scan and save a logfile button. It will scan and the log should open in notepad.
Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" and Paste the entire contents of the log into your next post.
DO NOT use the AnalyzeThis button, its findings are dangerous if misinterpreted.
DO NOT have Hijackthis fix anything yet. Most of what HJT lists will be harmless or even required by your Operating System.

Aha. I think that might be the problem with my computer. Now takes forever to do anything. How else can I uninstall chrome & be sure Ive gotten everything - besides downloading and running some other program.

@ kashka kat,

Chrome should uninstall without a problem from the add / remove list or programs and features list as it's called in Win 7 and Vista. Should there be a problem see link provided.

Here is a link that might be useful: Uninstall Chrome

REVO would be a great step in removing all of Chrome or any other installed application. Use in the Advanced Mode and let it do its job. It will create a restore point, utilize the Chrome uninstaller, and then do the cleanup for what's missed.

If you are notified of any orphaned files, folders or registry entries select them all and remove them. Just be aware there is no backup available so what is deleted is deleted.

For as long as REVO has been recommended here I do not recall anyone reporting any concern with it.
