There is an issue with Chrome where its own internal Flash plugin (PepperFlash) stays active after you install Adobe's Flash plugin. This will cause problems. You have to disable Pepperflash.

Are you sure that about:plugins doesn't work? It should bring up a list of installed plugins. Are you typing it correctly with the colon?

OK that is similar to the "pepper flsh" that is not compatible with chrome...correct? I checked the disable box but there is no "enter" box/screen on this page. I exited(with disable box remaining checked) but utube still stupid....reboot time?

Don K · « **Reply #32 on:** November 15, 2012, 09:35:05 PM »

Slow down there Speed...does reboot mean to push the pretty blue off button and wait at least 20 seconds before pushing the pretty blue button again? Don, this is not going to cause my "ignore" count to sky rocket again is it?

Thanks!

Don K · « **Reply #34 on:** November 15, 2012, 09:41:39 PM »

No, just exit Chrome and rerun. A system roboot couldn't hurt though.

I am new, and do not want to be rude or rock the boat. I do however see a shortcoming in your computing strategy.

I am a firm supporter of keeping your primary machine free and clear of questionable software, and instead running questionable software in a virtual box.

It would give you a few benefits over just figuring out what Norton did to your system, it would also allow you to print out more coupons than your current setup does. When there is a sale on a product, and a printable coupon, my wife heads out with 100 of them or more.

Its hard for me to explain the details now as I am one finger typing on a tablet. I will try to get back to you in the next day on how you can mitigate risk by running virtual box and dirty virtual machines, while running a clean core PC.

Google virtual machine, learn how you can make your computer as many computers as you want, and all the other computers you make live in a sandbox.

Sounds great J3ff. I'd do it if I had any use for it. I don't even run Wine.

Chicago Bob · « **Reply #39 on:** November 15, 2012, 11:00:23 PM »

Chime right in J.....when you are able. This is still a open forum...right.

I also checked the disable box for the coupon dealio....never use it anyway(needed a deal on some tires once)

So...re-started booted ...whatever...still all skwey...
Not looking to turn this rig into a miracle worker..jus want to get back to good...Colonel does know his stuff though...believe me dude...
