Facing issue while trying to run Robot framework script in google chrome browser

I am facing a Chrome popup while trying to run Robot Frame work script:
Microsoft Security Essentials wants to restore your Chrome settings to their
original defaults.
This will reset your homepage, new tab page and
search engine, disable your extensions, and unpin all tabs. It will
also clear other temporary and cached data, such as cookies, content
and site data.
In chrome extension, my developer mode is unchecked, whereas it should be checked.
The Robot Framework automation script is just to open the google Chrome browser and load google search page.
I am using Win 7 Home Basic OS.
I have attached screenshots.
It appears that most Chrome support specialists will ask you to run an anti-malware tool to verify that your system is running normally. These can be found by searching on the popup message.
One Reddit user commented that in his case the problem was resolved by altering the Windows registry:
I finally found a fix for this. There is a setting in the registry
that's causing it.
In the registry it's under
HKEY_CKU\CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Chrome\TriggeredReset
Delete the TriggeredReset key and then close regedit. Fixed.
This is an API for 3rd party programmers who want to create cleaning
tools. But if the tool isn't written properly, the triggered reset
never gets deleted and we have it always asking.

How to apply a fix to an installed chrome extension?

I am using a popup blocker named JavaScript Popup Blocker.
Sometimes this extension becomes broken, I have to reinstall it (e.g. it breaks when I add a website with a URL like http://xxxx:6666/).
Today, it happen again and I decided to fix the error (last update is in 2013, it seems that author would not fix this error in future). I found the extension folder by chrome extension ID, and made some changes to the source code.
But Chrome says this extension is broken and needs fixing after I restart Chrome. I even repacked the extension and installed again, it still doesn't work.
Ok, I found the answer myself.
Remove key in manifest.json, remove the _metadata folder as well(as Xan suggest), then repack the extension.
Then Chrome would not say this extension is broken after installing.

Is there a way to launch chrome packaged app from chrome extension

I'm developing a chrome packaged app and chrome extension, both of them communicate with one another, and i want to lunch my packaged app from a chrome extension, is there any way to do it?
Note:
I've tried using the launchApp method of chrome management api, but for some unknown reason the chrome.management is undefined in my chrome extension JS code, although i have specified management permission in my manifest file like so:
"permissions": ["management"]
Does anyone have a idea what is the problem, or there are any other way i can do it ?
Thanks for help:)
There are 2 possible reasons for not being able to use chrome.management.
You have not reloaded your extension properly
You are trying to call this from a content script; you can't do that, since a content script has very restricted access to Chrome API. You need to message a background page to do this for you.
That said, there is a better way to do it if you write both your extension and your app. "management" permission is a big hammer and will generate a warning to the user on installation.
Instead, you can send a cross-extension message to your app. It will wake it up and you can launch your main window from there. See this answer for details.

Has offscreen-tabs been removed from Chrome browser?

I'm looking at the offscreen-tabs experimental API here.
Then I tried to enable this but I don't see it in the chrome://flags/ part of the browser. Has it been removed from the browser as an experimental API or has it become a real API?
Yes Chrome OffScreen Tabs API was deleted from chrome extensions code base on 13 Dec 2012 as shown in this Patch / Changelist. This Chrome Issue asked to delete the specific API.
Chrome Extension Dev Page for Offline Tabs API also gives 404 that means corresponding document was also removed.

Can't open Google Sites Apps Scripts anymore

In Google Sites:
- Go to "Manage Site"
- Click Google Apps Scripts
- (I have 2 scripts here)
- Click on one of the available scripts
A new tab opens with the error message: "A server error or bug occurred. If reloading the page doesn't help, please contact us."
What's wrong? How can I get Google to look at my problem?
The script itself is still working, just I can't view or edit it anymore.

This problem is reported to Google. Google works on it. Star this issue on the issue tracker.
EDIT : an even simpler (and better ) workaround has been posted on the issue trcker by martinkociman
If you use Chrome you can get the ID of your script and insert this ID in the URL like this :
https://script.google.com/d/---------ID------------/edit
here is a screen capture of Chrome inspector, it worked for me on every gadgets ;-)
