Yeah TeamViewer, and thats no surprise.
I had an issue where I was using teamviewer to edit a friends INI file for Americas Army (the game) he needed a custom
resolution, well we get done and we exit TV and I made some changes too so we rebooted and gamed for a couple hours.
I get ready for bed and Windows alerts, I walk into the next room and TeamViewer had launched all by itself. I have never used it again.
I reported it to TeamViewer the next morning and they basically called me a liar.
This was about 2 to 3 months before all the security issues were discovered a couple years ago .
Yeah I steer clear of TeamViewer ;)

I do not love Teamviewer too because many security holes on it, but I have no choices, I use it to repair regularly errors on my parents machines when I'm far away

It seems a generic detection (.gen) so maybe a false positive, who knows, I would sent it to KL VirusDesk as false positive and wait the verdict or confirmation... also: why a TeamViewer file in cache of Chrome? :oops::confused: suspicious...
I think because I access Teamviewer website to view their Quick Support softwares and give the link to my friends for downloading. I've just accessed Teamviewer page before this file detected on Kaspersky

Also and in addition to harlan4096 , if you don't like to reload the suspicious file from Quarantine :
1) Go to the Kaspersky Quarantine Folder "C:\ProgramData\Kaspersky Lab\AVP17\QB\"
2) Submit the "*.klq"-file to Kaspersky Lab

As I've recently experienced, phone scammers are using TV as the remote control software of choice when duping people into allowing them remote access victim's laptops/PC's and holding them to ransom. Not TV's fault per-se but the whole situation has left a bitter taste in my mouth.
