Guys I just joined to help you out with this. I have been infected twice now with this Chrome random executables. It installs as you all have said
C:\Users\jschwartz\AppData\LocalLow\Microsoft\Pjddrcnolzd\updovrrefmes

It creates a Schedule Task in Task Scheduler to relaunch a random dll. If your infected you can sort scheduled tasks by task run in the last 1 hour.

BTW all folder directories it creates under the Locallow directories are random as well as the dll names and exe's are all random too. If you use "process Explorer" you can suspend the regsvr32.exe then kill all the random executables it creates.

I don't know which program is launching regsvr32.exe but the command is shown when my User Access Control prompts me to let it run. Heres how its launched:

C:\windows\syswow64\cmd.exe /c start regsvr32.exe "Path to the random dll under the locallow directory"

Hope this helps....still investigating. This problem I got infected from just regular browsing on the internet. No inappropriate websites. This is my work laptop so I don't have Admin rights but can contribute with what I find.

Hope this helps.
