I no longer have arrows to scroll a webpage up or down. I think it started with the last update. The only way to scroll a webpage up or down now is to drag the slider on the far right up or down. Am I the only one?

Is it only Chrome or does this also happen in IE or Firefox? If just Chrome, uninstall it, reboot and install the latest version, see if that helps.

It's a known issue in Chrome. Google is working on it.

Wow TK you're all over these boards. Thanks for the info, I thought it was just me. I suppose going right to the google boards would have made too much sense. As long as I have your eyes, do you recommend using a hosts file?

I adds another layer to your protection so I'm generally in favor of it. You can read more about the MVPS custom file here: http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm
Wow TK you're all over these boards.

I used to use mvps on all the computers in the house but the wife complained about to many links getting blocked. She would be on dealnews.com or some other shopping site and when you click those links they get blocked at sites like ad.doubleclick.com. Without the hosts file, clicking the links goes right through to the store that has the sale. So I left it off her new computer. It could have prevented her from getting the virus you helped me get rid of for all I know.

And that is exactly why people don't use the custom hosts file. They like to click on the ad links. The "catch 22" is that clicking on ads is the way to pick up alot of unpleasant things.

I think now that she's had an infected computer, she'll be more receptive to the idea.
