Hello everybody. Just wondering and maybe i can learn a little more about the mechanics with this post. I downloaded a few software to test in my computer 2 of them malicious. To make sure, i always scan them with Virus Total. While i was dragging and dropping them into Virus Total using Chrome i accidentally dragged one on an empty Chrome Window, a blank page appeared and a on lower left corner it said something about discarding or keeping a file. I closed the chrome window using the x on top. After scanning it it has various malicious results. So i am worried...
So what does Chrome actually do with an exe file when you drop them on a window? For example if you drop an image file Chrome displays it but does it runs an exe file?
Should i be worried?
Does any exe or malicious exe file modifies Chrome in any way when you drag one into a window?
