微软的代码错误使得Google Chrome被从电脑上删除

craigie

几百名使用者发现他们的Google Chrome浏览器被微软从使用Windows的电脑上删除了。

微软删掉Chrome并不是因为Google Chrome开始取得市场份额并对Internet Explorer产生威胁。

微软在一份邮件中说Chrome被删掉是由于软件Microsoft Security Essentials的一个错误。

Microsoft Security Essentials 以及 Microsoft's Forefront Endpoint Protection 这两个软件可能把Chrome作为恶意软件删除。软件的错误造成Chrome被误认为恶意软件而遭删除。重装Chrome仍然会被再次删除，不能解决问题。

Hundreds of Google Chrome users (at least) have found their internet browser of choice removed from their Windows PCs after Microsoft deleted the web-surfing app.

And no, Microsoft didn't start pushing out Chrome because it's gaining market share and posing a threat to Internet Explorer.

Microsoft said in an emailed statement that the Chrome removals took place due to a mistake on the part of its Microsoft Security Essentials software for Windows.

Microsoft Security Essentials and also Microsoft's Forefront Endpoint Protection software can remove Google Chrome as a malware threat. This matches up with reporting from the website ZDnet, which broke news of the Chrome problems on Friday morning in the US.

The software errors wrongly spot Chrome as malware to be removed from PCs. For affected users, simply trying to reinstall Chrome doesn't solve the problem. Instead, Microsoft's software removes the browser again.

The Windows-maker, however, said that an update to Microsoft Security Essentials' software has been pushed out to the web and it's working on making
everything well again.

Here's the explanation from Microsoft:

"On September 30th, 2011, an incorrect detection for PWS:Win32/Zbot was identified and as a result, Google Chrome was inadvertently blocked and in some cases removed from customers PCs. We worked quickly to provide an updated signature (1.113.672.0) at 9:57am PDT to fix this issue.  Affected customers should manually update Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) with the latest signatures. To do this, simply launch MSE, go to the update tab and click the Update button, and then reinstall Google Chrome. We apologise for the inconvenience this may have caused our customers."

Google, for its part, published a blog post on the matter, explaining to Chrome users in a series of steps how to reinstall the browser after Microsoft's mistake.

It's also working on releasing an update to Chrome to help protect the browser from the buggy version of Microsoft Security Essentials.
