What is Chrome Cleanup?
Google Chrome Cleanup, now powered by ESET, is a security tool that alerts Google Chrome users to potential threats.
The tool automatically notifies Google Chrome users when it finds potentially unwanted or malicious software. It can also remove the threat for you.
ESET provides Google Chrome with the engine for the cleaner, which is available in the latest version of Google Chrome.
