hi trish hope your well I have chrome and its brilliant it runs rings around I E but you keep that too so you have a choice once you download it run through the tutorials theyre good I think one of the best features is that you open every page as a tab and if anything happens you only loose that page and not the whole browser or session I would highly recomend it

Hmmmm, I just read that link Conrad, seems I may have a bit more searching to do - I can only think though that as google itself is so ace (imo of course) that this glitch may well be being discussed in a more positive light elsewhere - i will search I guess laugh wave

Theres often these issues with new applications I guess, stuff will work perfect for one person/computer and give endless probs on another - they're as tricky as people laugh

I just found google own page realting to chrome

it seems there are problems realtive to the anti virus I use so maybe I will leave it a week or three to see how things develop - or i may even just give it a try to just see if it works - dunno, will read a bit more first I guess.........

It's a great security soft, I find it better then even some sharewares, it has almost all features of modern anti-virus soft and a kinda small network shield))) Suggest it to all

Personally I use Opera as my browser, cause it's less bugz)

My son installed it for me about an hour ago so I'm still getting used to it. It's a case of so far so good. I'm not much good at technical stuff so I tend to rely on my 14 year old or 1 of the managers at work to help with anything to do with the computor. The only thing I need to sort out now is our printer and neither of them can figure it out. Seems that Google Chrome is a doddle compared to that
