If you have installed Chrome on your PC and look at your process list you will most likely find a process called GoogleCrashHandler.exe running which is located in your Documents and Settings \ Application data etc...
It turns out this program is not a crash handler. It is an updater, in fact the program will run all the updates all by itself without even telling you. To me this makes it a Trojan.
I stopped using Chrome a few months as it is just unreliable often drops connections even with Google sites but today I found it downloading an chrome update and taking up 125MB of RAM all in background. It did all this in background all without informing me or asking me or letting me see it was doing. WTF!
That update could really screw up my machine if I was doing anything major to the registry.
I only see this kind of behavior of companies that make spyware. A program that does what it does not say it does, a program which updates and modifies your machine and installs software without your confirmation is just not normal software. Legitimate software companies ask for your approval to execute updates and tell you what they are doing. They name their software so that you know it is a update program, don't name their exe files with names which a lies in the hope you will not kill the update process.
I have removed Chrome from my machine.
Yes they probably are doing this for our convenience but this could end up screwing up your PC or screwing up chrome itself.
Yes, I know this is probably just silly bitching but it is just another move from Google showing us that they are the All mighty and we now don't even have the right to decide what software runs on our machines.
