I'm having a major issue with Google Chrome on my Mac. Whenever I try to open it, I receive a popup saying, "Google Chrome stopped abnormally." The message goes on to warn me about potential security threats that could compromise my browsing data and presents a "Run Scan" button. I ran the scan, which declared that "Security issues detected". It instructed me to open the Terminal and paste a command to fix the issue. However, after doing so, nothing happened. I'm really worried about what this could mean for my data and I could use some guidance on what steps I need to take next.

Absolutely, and it’s best to handle the password changes on a separate machine. Just to be cautious, you should also check if there are any external devices connected to your computer that might have been compromised.
If you need guidance on how to reinstall the operating system from scratch, I can help with that! Basically, you'll want to create a bootable installer for macOS. Find a clean USB drive, download the macOS installer from the App Store, and follow the instructions to create the installer. Then boot your Mac while holding the Option key to start from the USB and follow the prompts to reinstall. Just backup any important data first!
That’s strange! I downloaded Chrome directly from the official site too, and I never encountered that popup. It’s really concerning. Has anyone else faced this?
That popup sounds suspicious! It didn't come from Chrome itself, and it seems like you've run a command that could have potentially compromised your data. It's crucial that you change your passwords immediately using a different device, and make sure you use strong, unique passwords for each account. Also, enable multi-factor authentication wherever possible. To stay safe, disconnect the affected device from the internet and seriously consider wiping your system and reinstalling the operating system to get rid of any possible malware.
