ASFAIK, there are no such probs with the setup. I checked the net and found no such problems.

 

[thinkhatke]

i don't think so
may be thats a problem with ur system
i too installed chrome, but i had found nothing and its working fine

false alarm.

Kaspersky once showed a trojan in "picasa2" setup file

Do you have the installer stub with you? If yes, can you scan the file at *www.virustotal.com/ ?

 

[Sathish]

ok.. guys. i here by posting the screen print.. and my download was pushed me to disconnect that connection..



my system(including OS (xp),drivers) has updated upto till date ..and i have no problems with virus/spyware/trojans/ and my system is running very smoothly without any hesitation.

Is your internet over LAN? As in broadband?

 

[Sathish]

broadband..

Chrome is a trojan that's correct

 

[tuxybuzz]

it worked perfectly for me..

 

[iMav]

broadband..

If your ISP has a LAN setup via which it is providing you internet then there is a virus on the network that will term most exes as viruses/trojans, though not necessarily the file is infected. Stop sharing your folders. Delete the file and re-download to another location.

Other Avast users have reported the same. It's definitely a false positive.

IS IT POSSIBLE..
how can i identify it..??

i have bit of confusing.. if have spare time, pl explain that info. briefly.

And,
today, i successfully downloaded the setup file without any warnings..

Don't know the details, but I suffered from this some months back. All my software setups suddenly started showing as infected via Avast. Incidentally that particular drive was shared on the network.
