Joe, can you check system restore to see if there is a restore point right
before you installed the cleaner? I always create a restore point before I
install anything. It makes it easy if something goes wrong.

Hi Jo,
Are you saying you totally lost IE11? Or, after you removed Chrome is IE11
now available?
Take care.

Hi, and thanks to all who came to my rescue. The problem was that I
completely lost IE and Google Chrome wouldn't budge. I tried many
suggestions given here, but I guess I just don't know how to use Google
Chrome. Finally, I did what Mike suggested, went to the control panel and
deleted it easily from there. Thank goodness I had Firefox to get me through
the rest of it. All's well that ends well. Again, thanks to you all.
Jo

Hi Jo,
When installing CCleaner, it has a nasty habit of installing Chrome along
with it unless you know what to look for & uncheck the box so it won't. So,
if you're running Windows 7 open the control panel, press the letter, P,
until you have Programs & Features highlighted, press enter to open, press
the letter, G, & when you land on, Google Chrome, press the applications key
or shift + F10 to open the context menu, & press enter on uninstall to get
rid of the Google Chrome browser.
To keep this from happening again there is this little program called
Unchecky that will uncheck nasty little checkboxes like this for you
automatically.
Anyone who is concerned about unintentionally installing promotional
software may be interested in trying Unchecky.
http://unchecky.com/
It runs in the background as a service and monitors for recognized
installers. It then automatically unchecks any checkboxes related to
installing toolbars, browsers, and similar unwanted products. I have not
thoroughly tested the program and it is not guaranteed to catch everything,
but there have already been several updates since the initial release so I'm
sure it's detection rate will improve.
It will not remove anything which has already been installed. It only
monitors installers. It is a tool for prevention, not for removal.
Take care.
Mike

Hi,
I just downloaded CCleaner and found that my home page has been changed to
Google Chrome. I've tried every trick I know and, believe me that's really
not too many, but I just can't get rid of this new home page which I
definitely don't want. I even uninstalled CCleaner hoping this would solve
my problem. It didn't. Can someone give me step-by-step instructions as to
how to do this Thanks in advance for any help.
Jo
