Microsoft Security Essentials Flags/Classified Google Chrome As Zeus Cass Malware Accidently :Begins its Removal

 Whether it was accidental or Intentional, Microsoft's security features flagged Google's Chrome as a Malware and began to block the application when users tried to run it.It not only gave a warning,but for many users it actually wiped out  the Chrome application when they tried to remove it and but when since then it has been Impossible to re-install Chrome.Apparently Chrome was classified as Class Zeus Malware Family,a Super Class Malware from the Warez applications and since then Microsoft released updates to fix the predicament.
                                                    Windows 7 Users were the ones who were literally crippled due to the false Windows Security issue and Microsoft was forced to release Digitally signed signatures to fix the Issue.Google also posted instructions to fix the Issue by instructing the Users to first completely Uninstall Google and then after verifying that MSE has been Updated with version 1.113.672.0 or Higher,Re-Install Google Chrome from Chrome's Home Page.You can check the Instructions From Here.
                                                      This incident happened just Moments after Google Announced that its already to take On Mozilla as the Second best browser by Dec 2011 only to be trailing behind Microsoft.After that release, Users Not only found that Google was wiped from their Pc's but also the ones that were left untouched couldn even browse the Web.Was this Intentional from Microsoft or Just a Cheap Parlor Trick?
