Google Chrome caught as a Trojan Horse
Today while navigating through my Windows Explorer folders, I navigated the folder containing the ChromeSetup.exe file. Suddenly my aVast anti-virus program detected it as a Trojan ( “Win32.Midgare” ). I immediately captured its screenshot and posting it here for future reference.
Although it has not created any harm to my PC, but still I am curious to know why aVast detected it as a Trojan! Have anyone found similar problem?
