[weird bug] WinSCP causes Google Chrome to freezes randomly

Hello,

WinSCP causes Google Chrome to freezes randomly. It seems to be occurring when WinSCP uploads a file. If I manually kill the WinSCP process it unfreezes Google Chrome.

WinSCP version: 5.13.4.0 (But the problem also affected previous versions)
Transfer protocol: SFTP
I'm not using the GUT but the C# library.

It's not rare that Internet provides freeze internet connection during an upload.
Chrome possibly tries to access Internet at that time.

If I open Firefox while Chrome is frozen I can browse internet just fine. And as soon as the WinSCP process is killed, Chrome is unfrozen. But what is weird is that on my home computer I have been using WinSCP and Chrome for years without issues but it seems some software on my work computer is causing WinSCP to freeze Chrome. I have multiple VPN software installed on my work computer but it's very hard to troubleshoot which software is causing the issue since I need these software to work and the freezing issue is very rare.

WinSCP does not interact with Chrome is any way. Sorry, but I do not know how to help you.

My Chrome instance crashed and when I reopened Chrome, this was the page that came up
(chrome://settings/incompatibleApplications)

"Learn how to update applications" links to

@jasonbuechler: Thanks for your report.
I've read about that message now:

Though WinSCP is for sure not "injecting code" to Chrome. So this looks either like a false positive or some kind of virus/malware infection.
I indeed do not have WinSCP listed on that page, even when I'm too using both WinSCP and Chrome.
