When launching Chrome, the software_reporter_tool.exe process seems to scan my hard drive. According to the information found on the net, it would be a kind of malware detector.
I already have an anti-virus program, so I don't see the point of this process.
Who can tell me how to disable it?
Thanks in advance

Have been experiencing a strange bug(?) with Chrome Dev Tools, where when I try to remove an item from Application > Local Storage tab, it no longer gives instant feedback (asin, the change is not reflected live). Likewise, when programmatically changes are made to Local Storage.
It requires me to close and reopen Dev Tools for me to see these changes reflected, which is highly inefficient for workflow.
I feel like this is likely not a bug, as I can't find it reported anywhere else online, perhaps a setting toggled by mistake unknown to me. Still, help much appreciated in reacquiring instant feedback. Thanks guys! Screen grab below:
EDIT: Just tried disabling all my extensions, and still the same problem.
This can be fixed with a reinstall of Chrome.
Been using Google Colab for some time now, but recently i upgraded to Pro+ thinking it would give me the possibility to open more sessions simultaniously. I was wrong despite what the description about the upgrade stated in the Google Colab Pro+.
So i'm asking if anyone knows if it's normal or should i report it as a 'bug'?
If anyone can help me out, it would be most welcome.
Thanks
I responded to a similar post here. https://stackoverflow.com/a/69132974/16879039.
TLDR I think its a bug. If you need more resources immediately, I had luck by choosing a TPU session instead of GPU (No guarantees and might be difficult to convert your code depending on what you're doing).
I just Start using System Frontier, The installation was a little complicated with a couple of errors but it was completed and the page is loading I completed the Post-installation steps.
Now the Issue:
When I go to tools create tool load the information and script, The Edit Page that should load after that is not loading is just a Blank Page.
What I try:
I check Data base information: I don't have a basic knowledge of MySQL but so far I see no errors.
I tried to restart the IIS Server and services.
I tried to load the Page in Different browsers and Run as incognito still the page will not load.
Conclusion:
If anyone has tried the tools and presented with this error and might have a solution please let me know Thanks in advance.
PS: I'm not a native English speaker so if there was any typos or error sorry about that I hope it was understandable.
After reading a little more I found the issue and there is an option that should have been activated for the issue to be a result or I will say to activate the option.
Answers:
Add an entry for your management server. (Settings > Management Servers)
Sorry, I hope I did not waste anyone's time.
I find in directory C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data but not see Default, please someone help me.
Thanks you so much!
I realized that there is no way to restore my bookmarks without using third party software (fees may apply) and the best way to avoid the same is to sign in google account in chrome and enable sync.
Thanks for watching!
I am new to the field of crash analysis. I recently, by accident, happened to crash Google Chrome. I do not know the reason as to why the crash really happened. I'd like to know it in depth though.
When the crash happened, there was a Crash report that was generated. I have saved that report in a text file on my system, as I did not know what to do with it at the out start.
Now I have heard people in the info sec world talk about things like, analyzing and reversing a crash dump, fuzzing a crash dump etc. and trying to reproduce the crash.
I am interested in understanding how these things are done and in the first place what they actually are. I need help with resources that can help me understand how to analyze and reproduce a crash etc. I happened to come across: -Chrome: Found a crash, is it a security vulnerability? and Best way to triage crashes found via fuzzing, on Linux? but these resources seemed a bit advance and not very basic. Also googling up gave me some resources of how to analyze a BSOD in Windows, but I could not find anything relevant for Google Chrome Crash Analysis.
Please help provide some good resources where I can understand these concepts.
My Platform is Mac OSX 10.9.2 and my Google Chrome is Version 35.0.1916.153.
Im afraid this is a broad topic. For a head start, read about use after free , index out of read/write class of bugs. These are the most common in browsers.
By reproducing they mean you do the same step of things which made the browser crash and see if it is crashing again. Like lets say opening a malformed HTML/PDF/Font (or any browser input, there are many many more file types.) If you could reproduce the crash, you could attach Chrome to a debugger and check the registers at the time of crash.
To know if the crash is of any use, see this particular question on SE. For OSX, there is an amazing tool called Crashwrangler by Apple itself. If Crashwrangler reports the crash as exploitable, it is a definite security bug. Else you would need to do manual analysis to reach a conclusion. For this you need some knowledge about assembly language and software exploitation. OpenSecurityTraining has some amazing content on this. I highly recommend it. Start with x86 Assembly on the beginner section and finally MOV to reverse engineering. It is important to know how the stack is laid out in the memory and registers to understand a crash dump. I wish you all the best in the journey. Hope this helps.
