Please help - I think I'm going mad

Hope you fantastic people can help a technophobe

I've been happily using Google Chrome for several months on both my ancient PC and relatively young Netbook.

Today I had the same message on both

'(Microsoft) Security Essentials detected 1 potential threat and suspended it.- PWS:Win32/Zbot - Click Clean Computer to remove this threat'

So I clicked Clean Computer. I then ran a full scan with Malwarebytes & Superantispyware (paranoid?) on both PC & Netbook. Netbook came up with some adware tracking but nothing serious.

Now, on my Netbook, I can still use the shortcut to Chrome (though the logo has disappeared) but on my PC the shortcut doesn't work and when I tried to download a fresh version of Chrome, I get the same MSE warning message so effectively I can't download Chrome.

As I said, I'm a bit of a technophobe but this is driving me mad.

I really don't want to have to rely on IE8 for browsing :eek:

Any help gratefully received.

Use system restore if you have a recent one

That should help unless MSE uninstalled any parts of Chrome

Couldn't agree more.

And you're welcome to be my stalker :rotfl:
