Is there a way to do this? For some reason, my mind is blank tonight. My son plays online games and every once in a while, he calls me over because his icons change to the Chrome icons. Tonight I have uninstalled it twice from his computer. I know that flash player, shockwave player, and some other players bundle it, but I always uncheck the boxes.

Anyway, I hate that program and Google's nosiness in everyones affairs so how can I automatically block future installs of Chrome? Would I need to simply add an exception to my virus software or block Google all together?

Tho i cant say what will happen to Google, but my system is hardened enough for that. It most likely will flake out *during* the pulse, but wont self destruct unless you melt it.. ( which is a different problem ) And a lot of telecom equipment is now too. EMP wont cause as much damage as most people think it will these days. Times have changed. You can thank Osama for that.

i had let a friend use my account on chrome do to some youtube surfing and channel checkups, and when i came on to get on my account, well...lets just say google might be throughly disturbed with some of the things he watched I.e. japanese commercials/music videos.

Oh, i would also recommend looking deeply at the installers, they seem to be getting crafty with the add-on installers/downloads

And here I've embraced google completely with my chromebook. Once the twitching stopped it wasn't bad. Now if I could just get rid of the headaches....and the incessant voices. And the debilitating loss of bowel control....

But my chromebook starts up in 7 seconds! pretty good tradeoff...

I tried to update flashplayer a while back on Win 7 Explorer. It wouldnt let me do it unless I installed Google Chrome, with which the new flash player automaticly installed. I just let it go and somewhere along the line it recently updated itself on Explorer.
