Google Chrome install is now being blocked as part of Google Updater

Just noticed this today. ChromeSetup.exe is being blocked as part of Google Updater. This is a bit of a problem, but I have a feeling there is no good way around it. Has anyone else had this problem?

Same here. Google Chrome 74 being blocked as malicious. Looks like it is because it is trying to update Run key

If these detections would be from Intercept X (rather than from Sophos AV), please see if this hotfix would resolve the issue:

Sophos Central Intercept X, Central Server Intercept X Advanced and Sophos Exploit Prevention cumulative hotfix

This is for Sophos Home Pro.

During login I get the message "'Lockdown' exploit prevented in Google Chrome 74"

In the details it shows that ""C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --no-startup-window /prefetch:5" is blocked. This is trying to run from HKCU/Software/Windows/CurrentVersion/Run/ and seems to be some kind of chrome background task.

I've tried telling Sophos to ignore this but it keeps happening. The only workaround I can see at the moment is to remove the reg key.

I installed this on another Windows system this week and had the same problem so I assume I am not alone.

Any news on a fix?
