Chrome_frame_helper.exe FP?
in File Detections
Posted
As nosirrah implies above, but does not state explicitly, this is a false positive result.
This file is harmless and the detection can be ignored: ...Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\21.0.1180.83\chrome_frame_helper.exe
It may be a good opportunity for some people to delete old versions of Chrome from their systems. These take up disk space, and there is no need for them. You may wish to leave the next-to-last version, in case you want to roll back to it.
To do this, navigate to "...\Application\" as above, then delete all the folders with names like 21.0.1180.83, except leave the most recent (or the two most recent). The most recent will have the "biggest number" as its file name, and will show the most recent "Date Modified" in Windows Explorer.
For more details, search for "delete old versions chrome". The top several search results (as of today on Google), all contain apparently reliable information. The two main choices are to delete the folders as above, or to install a utility someone has made called "OldChromeRemover". I can't really see much need to download and install a program to do this for you, and also, the program removes all versions of Chrome except for the current one.
