portable replicates itself over and over and over, cpu HOG

Reported by boog...@gmail.com, Apr 12 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:45.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/45.0

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. 
2. Run any thing on my laptop and C Por pops up and replicates itself, with Chrome removed from my laptop it does all this. You cant kill it.
3. 

What is the expected behavior?
After opening itself, it runs process after process. See youtube_"how to remove chromium malware". You'll see rows of the process, it suck up all the memory and causes a freeze or a crash.

What went wrong?
I don't even know how I got Chromium portable, it looks exactly like the youtube video except for the "portable" on my PC. When something buries itself and replicates itself after numerous attempts to remove it; something is terribly wrong.

Did this work before? No 

Chrome version: chromium portable  Channel: n/a
OS Version: 10
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 21.0 r0

I like Chrome but I won't ever touch it again, until I know it is chromium free. It is basically Malware on my Win 10 PC
