Google felt it was above security principles and users/lusers should have the final say in what they ran on "their" systems.

Running the modeling wizard I see the GPO is applied to the correct system. I also see chrome.exe seems to exist in all sorts of "Local Settings\Temp\chrome_nnnn" locations, what's up w/ that? I also have a hash value block of the .EXE (well, one version of them) in the same GPO. I need to block the app (please don't get me started at blocking the install on the first place...one step at a time here). Ideas?
