Windows 7 and chrome no longer requires passwords

[sapphirecutb2]

I had a password on my windows for 6-7 years. Today my pc no longer requires that password to log in and google chrome deleted all my passwords from all sites.



Is a virus or does anybody have any idea what it is? I've scanned with adwcleaner and it found Spyhunter.exe only, I've read about it and it looks inofensive.




Thanks!

Do others use your computer or have access to it while it was not locked with a password? You did not install or change anything right before it happened? Sounds like someone just cleared your security settings by deleting saved passwords from Chrome.

It's more likely to be either an automatic update or process cleared the cached passwords or the Chrome's cache where it stores passwords became corrupted. Either way I wouldn't think it was malware. I would just re-save the passwords again and forget about it unless you don't remember the passwords anymore. If it happened again I would consider clearing out profies and reinstalling Chrome.
