Any tips for ensuring it doesn't happen again? I mean I had Malwarebytes Premium (just cause the student discount made it really cheap) but clearly that didn't stop it. I haven't even bothered reinstalling it since it was such a CPU hog

Also, be sure you're keeping your software up to date. There are various programs out there that will handle updates for you. Leaving your software unpatched can lead to worms getting installed without you having done anything particularly risky.

I haven't even bothered reinstalling it since it was such a CPU hog Since you don't know how it happened there's no way to guarantee it won't happen again. That said, the best prevention these days send to be browser protection because there are so many exploits that get through from the web browser. You should have an ad blocker like ublock origin at the minimum because banner ads with malicious scripts are a big problem. If you want to get more extreme there's active content blockers like script safe or umatrix that require a lot more interaction to use but will definitely keep most things from running. You give up a lot of usability for the advantages of them but they are pretty useful. Things like privacy badger are useful to cut down on tracking but aren't as important for preventing malware.

I guess I'll just be vigilant and maybe take backups so I can always role back to pre-malware. I already use uBlock Origin and I'd rather not completely butcher web pages with those others if I can help it

Honestly though, I can't believe it's that hard to track down the source of this malware (let alone avoid it in the first place.) Have you tried all of the suggested scanners first? You shouldn't have to reformat and reinstall, that's kind of extreme for a non-crypto-ransomware infection. And, while I'm sure I sound like a broken record, may I suggest a Chromebook for your "questionable" browsing? You'd never have to worry about this kind of thing ever again, and even if you got some kind of infection it's just a Powerwash away (and literally a few seconds) from being gone.

Disclaimer: Switching back from Dev or Beta to Stable will require a Powerwash.

Autofill (available account-wide, same as passwords), tabs. Also apps/extensions/themes but that's all desktop-only; apps and themes because those don't quite translate between platforms and extensions because left-hand/right-hand and Google have the attention span of magpies. dont be mean to me fucked around with this message at 06:41 on Jul 1, 2016 |

QUESTION. How do I get context menu via long-touch to work in Chrome on Windows? With the default, it ignores treating long-touch as right-click, and with touch events disabled in chrome://flags Chrome stops responding to the touchscreen entirely. This is dumb as hell. Before you ask, tried this; doesn't work (Google's Chrome forum). EDIT, ANSWERED: Never mind. Apparently Chrome has to be difficult (TW: Reddit); instead of working like every other program on Windows you have to tap the screen with a second finger (in rapid succession) to make the context menu appear near the first. This is discussed for multiple operating systems on the Chrome Help Center but never gets an actual answer. Why can't that just be on ChromeOS and follow local environment standards for other operating systems. Why in the space-gently caress isn't this documented anywhere. Oh yeah also while you can get handles in text fields as far as I can tell you can't select page body text at all  Sweet horse Jesus Google what is wrong with you.

This might be covered by the Surface touchscreen drivers because Microsoft is actually on the hook for that one; other not-Surface touchscreen laptops (multiple brands of device and touchscreen interface vendor) I've tried act like this for Chrome and Chrome alone.

Any tips for managing multiple google accounts? I have an old personal gmail account and a newer business google apps account. Chrome is signed in to the apps account and I use that account for pretty much everything (inbox, drive, analytics, adwords etc.). The only thing I still use the gmail account for is youtube (and all android stuff...). The problem is that when I go to drive.google.com or docs.google.com or any other google service it's totally unpredictable which account Chrome will try and load with. Right now I have no other tabs open and if I go to drive.google.com it uses my apps account whereas docs.google.com uses my gmail account. I have to click in the top right to swap accounts every time. It's annoying because I don't always notice and I'm trying to find business emails in my personal account or (worse) I'm commenting on goofy youtube videos using my business account.

fuf posted:Aren't separate google accounts already different profiles? Is a profile different from a "person"? In Chrome itself. You've got multiple Google accounts signed in on the same browser profile. Chrome does not rigidly enforce Google account separation, so if you signed into an account different from the one that Chrome profile is tied to, it'll act like any other browser with multiple Google accounts signed into it.

Or take the more extreme step of using Firefox for personal stuff and Chrome for business on that machine.

The Chrome team decided to take away the backspace to go back a page hotkey without any option to toggle it back on and I think I'm going to murder someone. I get that people have issues accidentally trashing their form submissions and totally accept making the new implementation the default, but why the gently caress would they not let you opt out?? As someone who spends no insignificant time navigating without the mouse, losing my backspace key is like having someone cut off my pinky: not the biggest impediment in the world, but understandably infuriating. The alt+left alternative is ergonomically unfriendly. Why the gently caress not just make it alt+backspace? Forcing the installation of an extension to correct the issue is also all kinds of lovely. I am legit upset about my first-world problems.  Edit: alt+left is not alt+tab Cugel the Clever fucked around with this message at 03:24 on Jul 30, 2016 |

To be honest, I've used the backspace-for-back shortcut, but I'll kind of be glad when it disappears. I usually browse on a Chromebook nowadays so they have dedicated back buttons OR I use the alt-left shortcut OR I use the two-finger swipe OR I swipe on the touchscreen. More often in the past when I would go to hit backspace to delete text from a field the field would lose focus and I would end up unintentionally going back multiple pages. I do agree that the shortcut should at least be a toggle.

It pissed me off too given that a lot of my browsing is on an htpc with a small wireless keyboard and backspace is just right. Here's an extension to fix it: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/back-to-backspace/cldokedgmomhbifmiiogjjkgffhcbaec?hl=en-US

I wish they just opened up their keymapping as a JSON config file à la Atom. Might have to give the fuller customization plugin a shot, but it's still frustrating that there isn't a native option...

Subs like you've signed into both browsers. You can send what to sync in the settings, or just sign out of the work one.

It's generally not a bad thing, although it's annoying how it doesn't properly synchronize extensions in particular; it will just reinstall all present extensions, so if for example I've replaced Adblock+ with uBlock on the computers I regularly use, if I happen to boot up an old PC and don't immediately uninstall Adblock, it will subsequently reinstall it on every other browser like a goddamn virus.  Other than that Chrome Sync is great.
