    The above is a capture of my spywareblaster the arrows show entries for Firefox and Chrome which are not longer on my system I mean I uninstalled them both but did it one point or another have them installed most recently I did uninstall Firefox.

    So can I remove these entries if so how do I do this.

    It's showing that Firefox is not detected.... so obviously has been fully removed
    As for Chrome, it's saying 'Partially Enabled', so some entries for Chrome must still be on your system.
    If Chrome has been removed, you may as well disable all protection for Chrome.
    You can't remove anything from that main page..... the page is set by the program.
    It's only telling you what SB has protected.
    So even if you could remove anything, it wouldn't make any difference.

    Can I ask Joker what has you so elated about removing Chrome? I know many fear Google and how it makes its money but personally I like the Chrome browser a lot though I really don't see any of them as any faster than IE any more. What I like about Chrome and Firefox is all the possible addons. You can do almost anything with the other browsers such as turn your browser into an FTP file server avoiding the need of another 3rd party program, standardize your bookmarks over how ever many pcs you use, not to mention mouse strokes and terriffic password saving again on multiple pcs....and so much more.

    Hi Rich

    Yes you can ask i just plainly not like chrome firstly it was it's basic layout and such and now yes with google trying to force it down on us I like to control these things myself and with internet freedom getting less and less with each passing year the more I can control the better.

    The only reason i had installed chrome on this pc in the first place was a techie on a game i was having trouble with asked me to install it to see if the game was any better so I did but I must have not uninstalled it as well as i thought.

    So it mainly a personal reason why i dislike chrome if anyone can get along with it then more to the good just lately I am getting sick of big companies telling me and others how to be and what not but maybe that is my own paranoia creeping in.

    Well you are not alone Joker and I must admit Chrome is difficult to get used to and I really don't like what Google does to make a living, but I just have had so many issues with IE is all as to me its the hardest to store passwords on and I like the mouse gestures Chrome and Firefox offer so you can go forward and back easily and also the type saving that makes them anticipate what you are going to type so I guess I was spoiled. I suppose I am no more thrilled with the fact that on IE Microsoft can spy on me as well and I don't trust any of them. But I will say Firefox was easy to get used to but to use Chrome I had to force myself to do so. I also liked the fact that Chrome installs its own Flash Player and Java which helped stop all those annoying interruptions since at times they seem to run in tandem with updates. Each to his own about every 6 months FF or Chrome does something really stupid in an update which sends me back to the other one....thanks for response.
