I agree, this is a vulnerability!! If some malicious person could somehow replace your %WINDIR%\sspipes.scr and then redirect the user to the about:internets URL, *pow!* instant remote code execution.

Not very nice, Google! You lazy folks should code your own browser-rendered version and close this security hole!!

Hello Walterg,
First of all, I would like to point out that according to Google Official Blog, Google Chrome should automatically gives you the option to download the Java Runtime Files which was not the case for me. I think you got the same problem. Google Chrome requires the plug in Java 6, Update 10 which is a beta release and still quite unstable.

You can download the Java Plug in from here:

http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/ea.jsp

Just download the required JRE file, install it. Restart Google Chrome and everything should work fine.

Now you will see the Java plug ins files when using the about:plugins tag.

Concerning the “Where the plugins are ??” question.

Google Chrome does not install itself in the program files, like other software but instead in the directory shown below:

For Xp Users:

\Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome

For Vista Users:

\Users\\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\

Browse the Google Chrome directory and you will find a folder named “Plugins”, this is the folder you were searching for.

Hope this helps.

I loved chrome until I had to do a restore;thanks to your post I could check which plugins were installed.
The java plugins disappeared, I reinstalled all the java Runtime stuff but I am still missing these plugins and the neuron plugin too.
My question is
Where are the plugins dll on my computer.
How Chrome got these plugins in the first place (neuron plugin from Firefox?)
Blast Vista.
