Normally, when I have that type of problem, I go to the control panel, go to
the add/remove and get rid of Chrome or any unwanted programs and everything
works as before.
On thursday or friday of last week I installed the latest version of C
cleaner and although the internet blocked the download I clicked on the help
section and after clicking "yes" the file was downloaded and everything is
working again.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Warning for cCleaner users
Dear Friends,
I received this message today, on another list from a person I consider
very reliable and knowledgeable about using computers, and JAWS.
I hope this will help some one avoid a problem.
With Best Regards,

Last night, I decided to check for cCleaner updates. I downloaded and
installed the update, and found out it came together with Google Chrome
browser. Although Chrome showed up when I browsed the last screen of
installation dialog with the JAWS cursor, but there appeared to be no
checkbox to opt out of installing the browser. So, when cCleaner finished
installing, I found Chrome on my computer. I uninstalled it through
"programs and features", removed the remnant folders from program files,
and
continued my work as usual. But when I attempted to activate a link in an
e-mail message, the following message popped up:
This operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effect on this
computer. Please contact your system administrator.
I checked if Internet Explorer was my default browser. It wasn't, so I
made
it default. I restarted the computer, but when I entered a link in an
e-mail, I still got the same error. Apparently, Chrome makes changes to
the
registry that don't get undone by simply uninstalling Chrome, and the
computer gets stack in the gray zone of "no browser". The only thing that
helped was a system restore. Today, I decided to try updating cCleaner
again. I figured, I would make Internet Explorer my default browser and
only
then uninstall Chrome, and hope this would resolve the problem I
encountered
last night. It didn't work, I still got the error message and had to
restore
the system. So, unless there is a way to troubleshoot or circumvent this
issue, I would recommend to stay away from updating cCleaner.
