scottls59901 1 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Today I have a New Search Tabs icon (hover over), on my Google Chrome Tab Bar?- I clicked on it, and it just Minimized my browser? I do a Full Scan every day at 1pm (only takes 3min), and it was clean. I did a negative Google Search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Marcos 5,271 Posted March 19, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 19, 2021 Have you tried disabling browser extensions? Do you have detection of potentially unwanted applications enabled? If nothing helps, try uninstalling Chrome, delete the browser user profile and install it from scratch.

RayE574 0 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I have that too just happened yesterday, im pretty sure its just an update to the browser. Apparently only chrome OS devices had this feature but now its available on windows and maybe mac and others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
