Summary: Scam page claims computer is infected (was: Security: chrome crash)
The screenshot shown here is not a Chrome crash, but instead a scam page that attempts to convince you that your PC is infected with something. Typically, such scams are injected into pages by ads, but some disreputable websites will show these ads directly.

You can visit https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/2765944?hl=en for help on scanning your PC for malware or malicious browser extensions. If you recall what website you were on before being directed to the scam site, you may wish to contact them and warn them about the malicious advertisement you encountered.
