Well, it can start by removing that chrome virus right away. Seriously, I installed chrome because I wanted a web browser. If I wanted an anti-virus software I would have downloaded and installed one. Google should really stop overstepping it's boundaries like that.

They could politely ask Microsoft to let them have a look or make an exchange of info
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Even after clicking through to Google's original post it's not clear. Is this a full system AV packed into Chrome, or just a new version of Chrome's built in defenses against crapware being injected into it?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

That's a very good question. I got the impression that it was the latter (just expanded with a few things from ESET), but I could easily be wrong. Ah, it also seemed to expand the functionality of the Chrome Cleanup Tool[^]

Now this I would be fine with. I'm tired of having to protect my browser from crapware injection. Why does every installer for Open Source software want to install a browser extension? and why does java still try to do that too?
