I've noticed a few detections of the following:
CHROME-PATCH.EXE, W32.Adware.Gen, %cache%,   http://snup.webrootcloudav.com/SkyStoreFileUploader/upload.aspx?MD5=A8DBC384D9B82ED670193D042CDFD3F6 A8DBC384D9B82ED670193D042CDFD3F6,
 
Is this really bad, or is it just Chrome updating itself?

Hello,
 
That is definitely malicious. Many times malware writers will name their programs something familiar to confuse the end user.

Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
