Over the weekend, Google updated Chrome to help users affected by Microsoft software mistakenly assume that the browser is malicious (malware).

New versions of Chrome for both "stable" and "beta" channels were released on Saturday, October 1, 2011, a day after Microsoft 's MSE antivirus product identified Chrome as Zeus' botnet trojan, and Delete the "chrome.exe" file on some user's Windows computers.

Although only a few hours after the incident, which occurred Friday, September 30, 2011, Microsoft re-released the antivirus definition file for MSE, but some Chrome users reported that they could not install it. Re-browse the browser or, if so, lose the bookmark list (list of bookmarked websites for review) in your browser.

At the end of September 30, 2011, Google posted a blog post, instructing Chrome users to take steps to restore the browser. The October 1, 2011 updates were released to support the process, a Google spokesman said.
