Hi all, Thx for creating this awesome software In my previous windows installation, everything was alright. However, now I have reïnstalled, and SpywareBlaster doesn't detect Google Chrome on my system. It is my standard browser.. Is there any way to manually add Chrome to SB, or are there other ways to fix this? Thx everyone, Marco
Hi, What version of Windows are you running? Where did you obtain the Google Chrome installer? (Did you just get the standard install from the main webpage, or did you perhaps use one of the "all users" or business installers?) (We'd like to try to reproduce this ourselves, so we can fix it for anyone affected automatically.) There is, however, a manual override to the Google Chrome detection, that will force SpywareBlaster to always show Google Chrome. Simply create the following registry key: Code: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\SpywareBlaster\ForceDetect\GoogleChrome Thanks in advance.
This is the only webpage that addresses the problem I'm having (Google Chrome is NOT recognized by SpywareBlaster). However, your registry fix did NOT solve the problem. After adding your registry fix to the registry, I rebooted, but it still didn't work. Then I reinstalled SpywareBlaster 5.0 and it still did not recognize that I have Google Chrome installed. I must say that when I first installed Google Chrome, SpywareBlaster had it listed. However, sometime since then it disappeared. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit and SpywareBlaster 5.0 and Google Chrome version 32.0.1700.107 m. I do not remember for sure where I downloaded Google Chrome but I thought it was from Google. A SpywareBlaster image is attached. Stu
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit SpywareBlaster 5.0 Google Chrome version Version 35.0.1916.153 m (MSI installer version) and Spyware Blaster refuses to recognise Chrome is installed (set as default browser) Have tried all usual options - uninstall, re-install - plus the suggested Registry hack [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SpywareBlaster\ForceDetect\GoogleChrome] - followed by a reboot and then another SpywareBlaster uninstall and re-install Still no success. To confirm - Chrome Program installed at: C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\Chrome.exe C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\35.0.1916.153\chrome.dll With my User Profile here: C:\Users\Doug\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default I assume there must be another missing registry setting that SpywareBlaster uses detect Chrome? Any other suggestions?
I run Windows 7 Pro SP1 64bit SpywareBlaster 5.0 Chrome 35.0.1916.153 m Same situation as described above. I also run SpywareBlaster 5.0 on my old Windows XP SP3 box...same Chrome browser and it does recognize the Chrome browser. What is wrong with the configuration in Windows 7 and how to fix it?

For those of you on a Win 7 64bit, you need to modify a different key to force SpywareBlaster to detect chrome: Code: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\SpywareBlaster\ForceDetect\GoogleChrome You shouldn't need to reboot your system, just restart SpywareBlaster.
