So, I started up my computer like usual and opened google chrome. Except I couldn’t? It was detected as unsafe by both windows firewall and webroot, webroot quickly gave a notification to uninstall the program. I believe it was along the lines of Win- something? I believe 32 and gave the path file of the apparent malware file. I have no downloaded anything on my computer besides discord, steam, and some minecraft files. And google chrome itself. I downloaded malwarebytes for a scan, and it found nothing, and did an optimize with webroot and found nothing. I’ve uninstalled Google Chrome as I couldn’t even open the app anymore. I have no idea what happened. Any help?

Hello @Username9999 

 

Please Save a Scan log and look near the bottom and post the detected file lines in the log!

Or Save a Threat Log and post the lines in the log: https://docs.webroot.com/us/en/home/wsa_pc_userguide/wsa_pc_userguide.htm#UsingReportsAndViewers/SavingThreatLogs.htm%3FTocPath%3DUsing%2520Reports%2520and%2520Viewers%7C_____2

 

Thanks,

This is my threat log, like I said it detected google chrome as a virus for some reason.

Hello @Username9999  it could of been a False Positive as Webroot shows it good at this time and notice the date.

So IMO you can reinstall Google Chrome Release:  https://www.google.com/intl/en_us/chrome/
