is it Chrome or my pc s infected?

hey guys,
suddenly like out of no where, things started freezing here on my chrome browser..call it scrolling up-down..opening a new tab or nythin of tht sort.

nothing seems to be wrong with the PC though [atleast i hope so]. just lill' slow on boot..n acts funny when i try opening folders while "soluto" still shows booting in progress,

got avast free edition, malwarebytes keeping a check on my system n find nothing. was just wondering if doing an online scan get some result / crosschecking (?)

any suggestion whether its the browser or some nasty stuff in system?

having 59 processes running in background :| 24 of them r chrome.exe fr 8 open tabs(?)

 

Could just be Flash. Recently, Flash became the #1 reason for PC crashes and slowdowns.

Flash slows my computer alot. I end up restarting Chrome and reloading all my tabs.

 

+1 to that as well. Flash can the culprit in many browser crashes. I had my Chrome crash a lot due to Flash.

A close second is if you are loading .PDF's and a lot of them. The in-browser .PDF plug-in via. Adobe Reader can fail a lot as well. However, Chrome has now been using their own built-in .PDF plug-in, so I have yet see any crashes on Chrome by opening .PDF's.

 

Don't look now, but it seems to have affected your keyboard too...

PS: there is a very recent update for Flash.

 

Not to pile on FLASH but I just tried to reszie an active window -- blue screen that did recover itself.
Is malwarebytes the free one, if it is, update definitions, boot to safe mode and run a full scan with it.
I would run MSconfig and see what is starting up if the slowness continues.

 

yeah man.. free edition it is. shall do some round off as you guys suggested n post back.. till then i would stick to Jobs views on flash..i wish i would also block all flash media on my browser

 

Buddy... these updates and windows updates almost killed my machine :|
had some defender updates and some vista update say a while back..restarted.. and then went on checking malwarebytes updates.. it did two different one..first an update of 5mb something and then 7 some mbs. and went to restart itself.

now when it comes back to life, my computer that is, it took more than 6minutes to boot and then had my network connection dead and couldnt locate the network n sharing center.. had to restore the windows. thnk gawd that i didnt had to reinstall it :|

any freaky idea what might have caused it.. windows updates or malwarebytes?

 

If it bluescreens, then it is unlikely to be flash. More than likely to be a corrupt driver install.

And with bluescreens, Microsoft says over half of all blue screens are caused by the video driver. I'd go ahead and google "driver sweeper" from Guru3d, then reinstall your graphics driver.

 

no no.. wasnt a blue screen.. was just very slow windows boot n then network ceter wasnt found and the firewall was turned off, couldnt turn it back on either. the funny part was after doing two Mallwarebytes updates also the malwarebytes was showing no updates fpr last 52 days.. very weird.

couldnt connect to net, couldnt turn back the firewall on n had to restore finally :|

 

Yeah, since I updated Flash, the same sluggishness while using Flash programs or videos has been occurring to my G72GX
BTW, I usually get a lot of laggy response while loading tabs on Chrome.
