    Yesterday I updated Chrome to v. 62.0.3202.62  and then later ran Malwarebytes. It showed lots of Chrome files marked as PUPs. I put them in Quarantine and Chrome seems to be working fine. Can I delete them OR mark them as not a problem? Thanks!

      You can delete the quarantine. If they are quarantined, they are inactive.
      My guess is they are an older version, or from an attempt to install Chrome as a third-party add-on by some “free” software.
