Chrome Extensions

[reapersivan]

Hello, I am having problems with Chrome. I am unable to download any extensions. It just says a network error has occurred. I have deleted and installed Chrome again and after a few days my extensions are disabled. I really want to use the extension AdBlock.

Hmm, I am not sure, but you could try and scan your pc with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and see if anything's up. Sounds strange that they suddenly get disabled after a few days.

I recently got the PC back after my dad sent it to go get fixed for malware and viruses.

Still can't hurt to scan to be honest. Was it a problem before it got sent in? And do you have other problems with the internet (since it says network error)?

 

After scanning with malwarebytes and deleting anything that might be found try and reset chrome: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/3296214?hl=en-GB

If you got the Windows disc you could just offload important data, wipe and fresh OS install, install AV, then transfer the data back.

 

No virus will live through that. Free performance 'boost' too 

 

All for $0 and done in few hours max.

This is actually my Dad's computer and I do not really want to download or do anything or he will get mad.

I have reset it already. Ever since that option on the top right, next to the main 3, my Chrome has not let me download extensions. It's the one that lets you sign in to a google account

The menu button with 3 horizontal lines? And I am not sure what you mean with "Ever since that option on the top right, next to the main 3, my Chrome has not let me download extensions" ? :-)

 

You should seriously try and scan with malwarebytes. Just download the free one from here: https://www.malwarebytes.org/

Boot sector viruses are still a thing, albeit rare, and it would live through a reinstall.

You should be the one who should be mad, because he is the one who downloaded something wrong and left you to clean up his mess.

Sorry I had forgotten to attach image,

Sorry I had forgotten to attach image,

And what was the problem with settings menu again? I do think that you could fix the extension error problem by scanning with malwarebytes.
