I click “Close the program”, and try a lot of time and still not working.

After Google the error, I knew the problem is because of Comodo Firewall program. It has a HIPS facility.

Let me disply the steps to solve this problem.

  1. Goto Comodo Firewall > HIPS > Settings
    Right click on the status icon, the HIPS may not be shown. If not, just choose Advanced View.
    comodo-right-click
  2. Click  Detect shellcode injection (Exclusion)
    comodo-hips-settings
  3.  Choose Add file in the list.
    Right click in the empty window box, go to Add > Files
    hips-exclusion-add
  4. Choose file, Chrome
    Chrome.exe is located at  c:\Program Files (86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
  5. Click OK, and OK again to confirm this adding of HIPS exclusion.
    hips-exclusion-chrom-added

Then, I restarted Chrome, no more problems.

It is a workaround, hope Google or Comodo has their official release to solve this issue.
