Exploit

Hello,

I am a new Sophos user and appreciate any help with this that you may be able to offer.  When starting up Chrome we get the following message:

"An attempt to exploit an application vulnerability was prevented"

I don't know it this is something legit with Chrome that Sophos is detecting as a possible malicious attempt, or if it is an exploit.  If it is malware, how do I remove it from the cpu, as the software scanning is not taking care of it?

Here are the details that are listed with the "intercepted attack" prompt:
