   "Starting next week, we'll be expanding Safe Browsing protection
    against additional kinds of deceptive software: programs disguised as
    a helpful download that actually make unexpected changes to your
    computer--for instance, switching your homepage or other browser
    settings to ones you don't want.  We'll show a warning in Chrome
    whenever an attempt is made to trick you into downloading and
    installing such software. (If you still wish to proceed despite the
    warning, you can access it from your Downloads list.)"
