I use Chrome as well - however, the malware that i contracted yesterday went through all of my virus protectors and pretended to be a MS product. It had fake MS logos and each time I tried to cancel it or get rid of it, it downloaded again. It kept trying to direct me to buy virus protection because it maintained it had scanned my machine and found multiple trojans. The instigators were obviously after my credit card details. I spent the whole night cleaning it up and have a new virus protector as the malware has prevented my present virus protectors from functioning correctly. I informed MS who was very quick to assist and install updates this morning. The protectors are constantly having to update each time a new nuisance is invented.So I warn you to be careful of fake products which try to replicate the look of the product.
