They usually do the job. I don't believe there are any viruses that could use the favorites as a vector. I'm less familiar with their particular tool bar, but again making sure you have the latest version via Ninite is your best defense. Making sure you are up to date and resetting Chrome as suggested in the article you linked and cleaning your registry might solve your problems with Chrome. I think google is pretty good about forcing auto updates in chrome, but the virus could have turned this off, so double checking the version is worthwhile. Checking your system files could help too. The problem might manifest when you are using chrome, but actually be in Windows. My guess is that Google has an age requirement on their accounts, so that might be why you chose not to get her an account. I absolutely agree with you about Windows 7 vs. Windows 8. There is a classic shell on Ninite that makes windows 8 look and feel more like 7 that you could try. If you like Firefox you should check out Pale Moon. It is a custom version of Firefox that is stripped down for speed. <a href="http://www.palemoon.org/" target="_blank">http://www.palemoon.org/</a></blockquote>
