I'e recently started receiving the following Warning:

WARNING 25/03/2016 07:09 API key missing, please enter the API key from Config->General into your 3rd party program: ::1>Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/49.0.2623.108 Safari/537.36

I don't use Mozilla, AppleWebkit, Gecko, or Safari. I only use Chrome

How can I get rid of this warning?

Thanks,
Ski

It's your Chrome webbrowser.

If you can't believe that: use Chrome to go to https://whatsmyuseragent.com/ ... and find out what is says.

Funny story why all those webbrowser strings are there in UA: http://webaim.org/blog/user-agent-string-history/

among which:
And then Google built Chrome, and Chrome used Webkit, and it was like Safari, and wanted pages built for Safari, and so pretended to be Safari. And thus Chrome used WebKit, and pretended to be Safari, and WebKit pretended to be KHTML, and KHTML pretended to be Gecko, and all browsers pretended to be Mozilla, and Chrome called itself Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/525.13 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/0.2.149.27 Safari/525.13, and the user agent string was a complete mess, and near useless, and everyone pretended to be everyone else, and confusion abounded.

Close all browsers.
Start Chrome, delete Chrome cache.
Access SABnzbd.

Probably it's an extension in Chrome, not chrome itself!
Check your extensions :)
