This Chrome problem has me completely baffled:

[kwitel]

(Running a Dell Optiplex with 6Gb of RAM and Windows 7 Pro)

Whenever I open Chrome, within a couple of minutes my CPU starts to run and does not stop.
In Task manager there is an instance of Chrome using 25-30% of my CPU.
I can (and do) just shut this down with no problems.
However, Chrome will then proceed to start using inordinate amounts of memory for the most mundane of tasks. A single tab opened could use 500,000k. I then proceed to get memory alert after memory alert for not just chrome but for Outlook, Itunes, etc.
Mind you all I do is use Outlook (via exchange), web surf and Itunes.

If I use Firefox, I have no problems. No memory issues.

Id like however to continue to use Chrome.

Anyone have any clue what is causing this?

I have no idea what is causing this to be honesty and if it were me I would first run these for starters if you have not already

ADW download from bleeping computer delete any rubbish found with themalware scans

(NBIf one is running Kaspersky security it may rant about ADW - just ignore it ordisable Kaspersky while the ADW is being used)

Personally I really don't see why folks use Chrome or Firefox - I know thye reckon they are faster but I have no problems with IE and just how fast does one want a browser to be??

You might have a look in the task manager > Processes to see what is running though.

Do you have a lot of Extensions installed? Possibly an extension using a lot of resources?
Have you looked in the Chrome task manager?

[Roderunner]

Yes, I did as you said, and all I get is SAS Free Edition.exe not portable version.

Hmm that is strange mate as far as I know the software is worldwide not region specific like some AV's

I will give it another burl tomorrow - at work right now and will get back to you.
