    I use IE9 all the time, and I only see the advertisement twice. The first time I load Google it shows, then I log in to my Google account, go back to the home page, and X it one more time. I never see it again.

    Errrr... I actually fixed this on my workstation at the office, but I'll have to go back through my notes. I'll be up there tomorrow so I'll post whatever I came up with. It was pretty annoying for me as well.

    Hell, I know what I did. I saved the search page on another computer, copied it to a flash drive, then saved it on the PC with the annoying box problem, then opened it by double clicking.

    Select "Use Current Page" and apply. It's not exactly a fix, but it gets rid of the box.

    I set IE9 to Compatibility View. The X is now active, so I was able to close the install google chrome message.

    Get Rid of the "install Google Chrome" message


    After trying all of the suggestions that I could understand concerning this popup I final hit on an idea:I went to the desktop icon for internet explorer,which in my case,is Google and changed the name to Home Page.Poof........Chrome message is gone and hasn't shown it's face again.Don't really understand but to get rid of that irritation I'll wait to hear from someone smarter than me to explain it.

    i just clicked your link, and that box was there and when i closed the tab and opened up a new one, and clicked the home button, since my homepage is set to google and the box wasn't there i only had to click the X once and it seems to stick for me

    I have Google set to my homepage and every time I open up IE9 I see a box in the upper right hand corner asking if I want to install Google Chrome. I usually close this box but it always returns whenever I reopen Google.

    This doesn't happen with Firefox since I installed adblock plus add-on. The question is there anyway to block this annoying box from showing up every time I open IE9?

    Thanks.
    Try:

    get into TOOLS (Menu Bar),
    then into INTERNET OPTIONS,
    then into ADVANCED,
    then scroll down to SECURITY,
    look for the SECURITY subset "Enable DOM Storage"
    check it,
    click apply.

    Hope it works.
