Chrome Cleanup Tool

Chrome Cleanup Tool: A lightweight application from Google that can detect and remove software and components which might affect Google Chrome’s performance

While the primary purpose of a computer is to be functional and allow you to install and use various applications, installing them also comes with some risks. Even if you’re careful about which programs you choose to install some of them can have malicious behavior and use your web browser to gather data about your browsing habits and other information, which ultimately leads to strange browser behavior.

If your Chrome browser becomes slow or starts acting weird, Chrome Cleanup Tool can help return it to its top performance. This application created by Google can detect applications that interfere with the Chrome browser and remove them.

Browser extensions, toolbars and popup ads are not malware so your antivirus software might not detect them. Chrome Cleanup Tool was created to detect applications and components that change Chrome’s settings, and quickly remove them from your system.

The program is portable so you don’t need to install it and it will start searching for suspicious apps right after you launch it. The detected applications are shown in a small window and you have the option to remove all of them. However, their names are not displayed to prevent name changes which could cause Chrome Cleanup Tool not to function properly.

Sometimes a system reboot could be needed for the changes to be applied. After the problem is fixed, the Chrome browser will restart and ask you to reset its settings.
