Okay, I was totally scared since I've invested much time in installing Chrome extensions, getting the toolbar just the way I like, it had all my saved passwords, etc., etc. But I took the plunge, uninstalled using Revo, and upon re-installation everything came back just like it had never left! That is the bomb! And where coming to this Avast forum post before in Chrome was setting off all kinds of Avast warnings, this time all's good, so it appears that was the needed trickery. WHEW! THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE HELP! Now, in order to help make Chrome better, should I post a link to this thread anywhere? THANKS AGAIN!
