How to get rid of unwanted search tabs?
I use Chrome but when it comes up, there are 2 unwanted tabs that also come up as "search" tabs on the top of the screen. How do I get rid of those ?
Thanks...I should have mentioned that the unwanted tabs are < vGrabber > and I'm not alone in hating those guys, it would seem. Right now I am trying to get rid of it by < system restore > but keep getting an error when I try and use their restore points. I'm using Win 8, btw. It seems to have hijacked all 3 browsers...Chrome IE & Firefox. How can I put in my own restore point ? I have removed anything related from Programs but it stillwon't get rid of the tabs or the search browsers. Thanks.for any help.

You have to go to the Settings and change the On Startup settings. I have mine set up to 'Continue where I left off' but it sounds like you have it set to 'Open a specific page or set of pages.' Click on Set pages and get rid of those two search pages. Or you could be cool like me and just continue where you left off.

Why don't you call the manufacturer and ask them directly. That's the FIRST thing I would have done. Sorry I just can't stand people who don't use common sense.
