    I just got this popup about a trojan from Chrome. Not sure if it is a false positive or not. Has anyone else got this? As of now I still have the popup there, trying to decide what action to take...

    EDIT: It has been quarantined now. But has anyone else got this? I wasn't even using Chrome. I just turned laptop on, did some browsing on FF, went to get a drink in the kitchen and came back with that notification. :O

    Interesting, sounds like a temporary file. I've seen nothing from either Avira or ThreatFire.

    ESET Nod 32 (2.7) hasn't picked up anything with Google Chrome yet either.
