Is Google Chrome Having Security Issues?

Hey guys just wanted some feed back... over that last few weeks I thought my laptop was getting a little buggy or malware/virus which would be shocking as I pretty much keep my antivirus software up to date.

Then I realize that Google Chrome appeared to keep freezing in the middle of some of my blog projects while online, didn't think anything of it the first time but then it happened a few more times. I stumbled upon an article from Forbes this morning indicating Google was having security issues with Chrome.

I tried a complete uninstall, cleaned my temp files and data base but still experience a one off issue about a day or two ago.

Is anyone else having issues with Google Chrome as of late?

If you don't have enough RAM Chrome will act up. From my experience 16 and up is best, 8 is kind of good but not good enough. Or your HD may be dying.

what are your laptop specs?

While you're at it, check the running processes too, their resource usage and/or run a full system scan with Malwarebytes. It can be the RAM as it was suggested above, but it can be malware too as you originally thought, which uses up the resources of your system.

If you aren't defragmenting your HDD from time to time, a defragmentation could help greatly too.

One more idea, if you haven't done it in a long time clean browser cache. You can use CCleaner to keep your browsing history and selected cookies.
