Never seen this stuff happen with the MSI updaters.

The Google toolbar was also "force installed" alongside the Flash update.

 

PITA!

Ah, 10-4. We also have problems that are only fixed after uninstalling
Chrome. Other times (but not recently) it was the Google toolbar that caused
problems for me/clients.

Chromuium isn't the same as Chrome. The latter is based on the former, but
they are different apps (how different, I don't know)

 

"Chromium is actually a lighter Chrome that provides almost the same
performance and functionality as Google's tool."

I just had to battle the Chrome install when I updated Flash. There was no
way to NOT install Chrome (individual update on my laptop). After
uninstalling, I had the same symptoms mentioned below. There is a Microsoft
"Fix This" one-click solution but, I'd have to Google it again to find it.

Do the users get sick when they have Chromium installed?  I've heard of
flyby installs of Chrome and the Ask toolbar, but chromium?  that is wicked!

All,

Trying to give back a bit to the community...

We've found that folks who are blindly accepting Adobe product updates
are currently getting Chromium installed, and it's causing problems.

During the Chromium install, it sets itself as the default browser,
which causes at least two problems:

1) Users were unable to click on links in Outlook 2010 getting "Unable
to open this link due to restrictions in this computer? Contact your
administrator for help". This fixed it:
     http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310049

2) Users were using IE 7/8/9 to browse to ftp sites, but then were
unable to open the site with Windows Explorer. The fix was to export
the registry hive at HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/ftp from a working machine and
import it to the affected machine.

In all cases we have removed Chromium where the users had these
problems. There might be other fixes, but these worked for us.
