A warning to Chrome users.

This might happen to other browsers too, I don't know. As many of us run 24/7 and don't bother to shut down their browsers might miss all the pop-unders(I had 6) that Chrome was taking %15 to %20 CPU! It was killing my 2684 production on my 930 to the point that it would have made me miss the deadline. Thankfully, I caught it in time with HFM.(Thanks again all, you know who you are.)

BTW, is the blue in the status column for a VM normal colour? The second screen pic is after only 2 hours, I expect it to improve a bit more.

Nice man! TPF is back to normal. Woot!

If you didn't install VMware tools, the VM will not keep time. TPF and PPD will be off a bit.

The tools load automatically for me, I just have an option to re-install them which I'll do when the WU is safely in their servers. Still, once I got the Chrome pop-unders deleted it's been going just fine. Chrome is not using any visible CPU resources anymore.

Status is blue because VM time is wrong.

Thanks, at least Ubuntu time is the same as W7 though WU time is 4 hours ahead, GMT I'm guessing. How to fix if fixing is needed.
