It wasn't there when I checked this morning.
When I checked an hour ago, it started downloading FCU.
It's now been sat on "Downloading updates: 62%" for a good 20 minutes, with no network, disk or CPU activity.

The search giant is rolling out a new Chrome Cleanup tool for Google Chrome in Windows which will automatically scan your computer for potentially harmful software. It found that Edge virus right away and offered to delete it
|
|
|
|

Well, it can start by removing that chrome virus right away.
Seriously, I installed chrome because I wanted a web browser. If I wanted an anti-virus software I would have downloaded and installed one. Google should really stop overstepping it's boundaries like that.

Then how would they get permission to scan your files?

Even after clicking through to Google's original post it's not clear. Is this a full system AV packed into Chrome, or just a new version of Chrome's built in defenses against crapware being injected into it?

That's a very good question. I got the impression that it was the latter (just expanded with a few things from ESET), but I could easily be wrong.
Ah, it also seemed to expand the functionality of the Chrome Cleanup Tool[^]

Now this I would be fine with. I'm tired of having to protect my browser from crapware injection. Why does every installer for Open Source software want to install a browser extension? and why does java still try to do that too?

A year ago, if you’d asked me if I was going to build a custom setup to measure keyboard latency, I would have said that’s silly, and yet here I am, measuring keyboard latency with a logic analyzer. And here I thought it was just that my typing was getting faster

My latest keyboard was made by DEC in the 90s.

And it could probably be used to concuss a moose, and still keep typing.

We are not used to the idea of machines making ethical decisions, but the day when they will routinely do this - by themselves - is fast approaching. So how, asks the BBC's David Edmonds, will we teach them to do the right thing? Right after we teach humans ethics?

A crippling flaw in a widely used code library has fatally undermined the security of millions of encryption keys used in some of the highest-stakes settings, including national identity cards, software- and application-signing, and trusted platform modules protecting government and corporate computers.
...
While costs and times vary for each vulnerable key, the worst case for a 2048-bit one would require no more than 17 days and $40,300 using a 1,000-instance machine on Amazon Web Service and $76 and 45 minutes to factorize an affected 1024-bit key.
The cryptoworld's horrible Monday continues...
