    I have the MSI E7405.

    I originally had 10.8 from ATI's website, but wanted to try out 10.5 from MSI's website last night. After I installed, ran 3dmark and then tried to submit the scores online.
    First, the scores wouldn't submit, kept saying submission failed. Then when i tried to open Chrome (default browser) it said my profile was corrupt. So I synced back to my Gmail account and it was fine again.
    Then, any game I play on Steam thought I was playing it for the first time (giving me the CD key etc) but then it launched without any problems.

    I also use Raptr and it had lost all my credentials, had to link up my accounts again.

    So I woke up this morning and then when I right clicked on a page, AdBlock was suddenly in Chrome, I remember installing it but it never showed up when I right clicked on a page before. Also, just as a one-time thing, Chrome's page was cut in half (the scroll bar was in the middle of the screen, while CHrome was maximized).



    Everything else is running fine and I ran a scan with Malwarebytes (latest version) with nothing detected.

    What could've caused this?
