I have Avast premier (using Windows 11) and my browser shield popped up with the message 'Chrome.exe is trying to access my login info in chrome and asks if I want to block the app to protect the file or allow it.
I have not had this before. Is it a false positive or something to be look into in case of a possible virus? Advise would be appreciated.
Screenshot attached
Could you provide the related chrome.exe file (or its SHA256 hash, e.g. via a VirusTotal link)?
Not sure how to do that
Wasn’t there an “AlertID” line at the bottom of the window? That could help, too.
i have recently had this occuring as well.
I said No and do not show message again, and now I can’t see my passwords on Chrome password manager
how do I see my passwords again?
I got this message just recently, around 27-28 of april 2025. Also “chrome exe is trying access Google Chrome-cookies”. Options are “Keep blocking” and “allow app” Most likely after a software update of Avast. 25.2.9898a (version 25.2.9898.924)
Was this issue ever resolved and is there a solution?
