As title really. Running last nights build of Chromium. Avast AV has just started showing chrome.exe as a threat Win32: Dropper-gen.

I'm assuming a false positive. Anyone else seeing this?

Looks like they also accidentally targeted explorer.exe a few weeks ago too: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=147684.0 .  You will want to go on their forums to discuss the infection alert in more detail to see if you are really infected with something or if it is a false positive.
