Anecdote: one side-project I'm working on is a simple DLL injector that can insert arbitrary DLLs into other processes at launch time. It's been used out in the open for over three years, but only one security suite (Comodo) blocks it from running. Is modifying other processes' memory not as suspicious as Chrome's behaviour?

Does it need Administrator privileges to run? If so it's not really a security hole since by the act of giving it enough permissions to run you could have done it yourself (in a way).

It's like the "I'm logging in as root and can change other people's files." sort of security 'flaw'.
