My company uses McAfee as their virus/malware protection, and in their
wisdom, they (my company, not McAfee) decided in the early days of
Chrome that Chrome was a security risk and they added it to Unwanted
Programs Policy.  The policy is managed centrally and end-users are
not allowed to edit the list.

I was lucky in that I downloaded and installed Chrome before they made
this decision, so I was able to keep it running by renaming the
executable to googlechrome.exe.  But there are two problem with this:

The first is that the auto-updates are deleted upon download and so I
have to reboot in Safe Mode with Networking at home to get Chrome
updates.  Not a huge issue, but it can be a bit of a hassle.

The other is that popup windows always cause Chrome to crash.  Since
these crashes don't happen on my home machine with Chrome, I can only
assume that it is because my executable is renamed.

Any thoughts?
