Microsoft Security Essentials identifies Chrome as malware
Posted on October 3rd, 2011 at 20:36 1 commentReader DB asked me to mention the fact that Microsoft Security Essentials came up with a false positive on Google Chrome. In some cases, MSE stepped people through the process of uninstalling Chrome, claiming it had a copy of the Zeus botnet inside.
Chrome was (and is) fine. MSE screwed up.
Microsoft fixed the problem within a couple of hours and issued updates. Chances are very slim that you were affected.

I laughed so hard when I read this on the Net the other day that I almost fell off my chair. I don’t use anything but FF so, it didn’t bother me but, I guess the people who use the Goo must’ve been a bit worried.
I guess we all make mistakes, even the grown ups!!!
