Forti client picking up Software reporter tool as a threat

Hi guys

 

Not sure if you guys got this before. 

 

We are seeing Google Chrome Software_reporter_tool.exe as zero day. It's happening on multiple computers so it we think it might be false reporting anything we can do to check? or add exception to this file?

 

see below of the report.

Same here. 

I'm currently trying to prove this is a legit process with Chrome, and not malware.

If this is a nuisance to you, you could try disabling Software Reporter Tool
