First of all, Mozilla (including such Mozilla-based applications as SeaMonkey) used the term "chrome" (lower-case "c") before Google developed its Chrome (upper-case "C") browser. If you have Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, or related applications, you have chrome folders and files. These have nothing to do with Chrome or chrome.exe. Now for your problem, you have installed AVG Anti-Virus in addition to Malwarebytes. The fault lies with AVG Anti-Virus. When you updated AVG Anti-Virus, it automatically added the Chrome browser without asking you for permission. My recommendation is to uninstall both AVG Anti-Virus and Chrome. This can be complicated. The following assumes you are using Windows 7, but there should be equivalent steps with other versions of Windows. For Chrome, you must use the Windows Task Manager. On your task bar at the bottom of you monitor screen, right click away from any task buttons. Select Start Task Manager. Select the Processes tab. Near the top of the Processes pane, click on the Image Name bar to sort the processes in alphabetical order. If you scroll down and see chrome.exe, select it and then select the End Process button at the bottom-right corner of the window. Check to make sure Chrome is terminated. Then use the Windows Programs and Features window to uninstall Chrome; you can reach this window from [Settings > Control Panel]. To uninstall AVG, see <https://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?l=en&urlName=How-to-uninstall-AVG>. Then get a fresh installer file for AVG. When you install, make sure you uncheck the checkboxes for also installing Chrome. NEVER again allow AVG to update automatically. NEVER again click on the update button in AVG. ALWAYS work from a fresh installer file that you download via SeaMonkey. -- David E. Ross <http://www.rossde.com/> President Trump demands loyalty to himself from Republican members of Congress. I always thought that members of Congress -- House and Senate -- were required to be loyal to the people of the United States. In any case, they all swore an oath of office to be loyal to the Constitution. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
