Nov 4, 2013 12:05 PM in response to Sandyvalby thomas_r.,Sounds like something has installed a Chrome extension that is doing this. There has been a significant increase in browser adware being added to installers. Open Chrome's preferences and click Extensions on the left side of the window. What extensions do you have installed?

"rootkit"
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Google is a advertising company, they have been busted using special cookies for Safari..
Google intentionally circumvented the default privacy settings of Apple’s Safari browser, using a backdoor to set cookies on browsers set to reject them, in the latest privacy debacle for the search and advertising giant.
http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2012/02/google-safari-browser-cookie/
Their streetview cams recorded everyone's Wifi information and data and they were busted for that and other violations of privacy issues.
Their "free" software and many of their add-ons spy on people.
They change their policies of using your personal data like your picture to promote products.
They read your email.
All these things can be researched using Google.
So I call their so called "Software Update" a rootkit, because it does require sudo to remove it completely from one's system.
Also it just so happens there is no GUI uninstaller for the non-techines, now why is that?
Why is it that Firefox and many other softwares can auto-update without using installing a root kit and Google can't?
I call it how I see it. Their intention for evil is already established, thus it's a rootkit and doesn't deserve the elevated privileges it's been given.
It should be immediately removed from everyone's computer before it's widely compromised and causes another Flashback botnet of massive proportions.

Nov 4, 2013 1:50 PM in response to Sandyvalby thomas_r.,It's hard to know... It certainly sounds like it was limited to Chrome, but with the proliferation of adware going on right now, it's possible it's something whose behavior is not yet known, and which will rear its head again.
Were you interested in reinstalling Chrome? If not, I wouldn't worry about it unless you start having problems in another browser.
