Lately when I open a file, it wants me to install Chrome. I already have and use it. Anybody else seeing this on their computers. Are these files legit or are they trying to embed cookies or malware?

What type of files? I would be VERY cautious.

Have you checked to see if your already installed Chrome needs updates ?

I've seen different programs ask to install it when you install a new the program. Never seen it with a normal file, I would be highly suspicious of such a file.
