Chrome Clean-Up Tool

If you’re finding that Chrome keeps crashing, refuses to open, or fails to load webpages, there is a chance that you have malware on your system. Getting rid of it is normally a straightforward process, but you might need to work through a few solutions.

The first of these is the Chrome Clean-Up Tool . Unfortunately, it is only available to Windows users, if you’re on a Mac, Google recommends using the highly-popular MalwareBytes.chrome-clean-up-640x407

The tool will scan and remove software that may cause problems for Chrome; that includes malware, but also other suspicious programs, extensions, and plug-ins.

Reset Browser Settings

If neither the clean-up tool nor a scan with  your standard anti-virus has failed to solve the problem, you should try resetting your browser’s settings.

To do so, click on the Chrome menu (hamburger icon) and follow Settings > Show advanced settings. Then scroll down to the section labelled Reset Settings and click Reset Settings > Reset.

Fix Protected System Files

The last thing you can try is to let  Windows scan for problems within its protected system files. The operating system’s native tool will automatically repair and restore and problems.

The feature is activated from the Command Prompt. Right-click on the Start menuand select Command Prompt (Admin), then type SFC.EXE /SCANNOW. The scan could take a while, but Windows will let you know when it’s finished and give you the results.

How to Batch Resize the Images in Photoshop

If you want to resize a large batch of images on your computer, and by coincidence, you have installed Photoshop on your computer, then you can easily do the job. Photoshop has this feature, but few people know it, becasue it is hidden away in the File menu.

AS shown, open the Image Processor, then you can choose the photos you want to resize. You can either resize images you already have open, but where this feature really shines is the ability to select a folder which contains all the images you want to resize. You can choose to save the images in the same folder. Alternatively, you can choose a specific folder where you can save the images. You can save the images as JPGs, TIFFs, or PSDs, and you can choose the specific width or height. With JPGs you can also select the image quality. After getting all your settings in place, hit the “Run” button, and sit back and letPhotoshop do all the work. If you want, while resizing the images, you can also batch run a Photoshop action on the images.
