Every time Chrome gets closed the filters are getting delete

Post by merhaps »

Hi, i have the problem that everytime I close my Chrome windows, my filters get deleted. then i have to re-activate them. with firefox i dont have any problem, but I would like to use chrome.
I searched alot, tried many things (new user, uninstall and new install, delete chrome and install again and more ). Please, give me any more suggestions :( I dont know why it keeps deleting!

you said about uninstalling and installing, not about completely remove your profile
so, (if you didnt delete completely the profile), you could try it (without uninstalling chrome)

if you keep only windows firewall and disable all other security software, do you see some changes ?
also, if you have some cleaning software disable it

try also:
go to chrome://flags
and choose disable for:
"Instant Extended API Mac, Windows, Chrome OS"
(you have to press relaunch chrome after the change)

Thanks for your help. In fact, it was simple :
My firewall blocked googleupdate.exe, so I had an old version of google (why ever O_O). After I put googleupdate on my whitelist it updated and now it works :D

Same here only it doesn't happen all the time. I will be surfing and then ads suddenly appear! My filters have been deleted. It will happen every few days.

I tried manually updating the filters everyday to see if it was a problem with the filter updates but it made no difference :( I don't know what causes it and I only use ABP and LastPass extensions?

Any help would be appreciated?

PS. chromeupdate is allowed on my pc, I am using Windows 7 own firewall. Also it doesn't happen when my browser is closed, it happens when it is open every so often? I just didn't want to start a new thread as this is similar.

did you try a new profile ? (see above)
also, disabling temporary your security software ? (keep windows firewall)
