I was updating Adobe Reader 9.x to 10, and when Adobe offered the chance, I followed the

directions and clicked on the file. For some reason I got two progress bars of installation

status. One of which was Adobe Reader X, the other was "Google Chrome". When all was complete, I

had a shortcut placed on my desktop labled Google Chrome. I did not click on this icon to this

day. FireFox's homepage is Google. Now is FireFox utilizing this new google download in any way,

and what is the shortcut on my desktop for? When FireFox opens with Google, it appears no

different that it ever did. I wanted to use "Add or Remove programs" to delete this "Chrome"

deal, but I'm not sure if that would mess up FireFox in any way. I hate when these kind of

surprises happens. Please Advise ... HELP !!!! pdh

I think every time you install abode software, like adobe flash, it has an option to install google chrome. You should untick that before. I think it has installed google chrome. You can just uninstall it and everything should be fine I think. Have a look at the image. You should UNTICK that "install chrome". Please mark this problem as 'solved' if this helped you!
