Weird crashes in Ubuntu

I've been having some weird popup messages saying "chromium crashed please relaunch" of late. But chromium has not crashed. It's weird... Where should I look in the logs for funny business?

Folder in temp: ssh-FSMqVoIs1775 includes file: agent.1775

Suspect or what? SSH?

 

Not sure why you posted the virustotal page. The file you posted in /tmp is a normal file ssh makes. I have one too, though mine is "agent.5016"

 

Maybe check the Log File viewer for clues.

 

That's the agent file uploaded to virustotal.com , comments suggest it's a file dropped by a trojan

 

Ubuntu includes gnome-keyring, which implements an SSH agent. That's the SSH socket file, generated when you log in. It's not your problem.

If it's not too confidential, what websites do you frequent on which Chromium claims to have crashed?

 

OK but the thing is...the file has a hash that is a known trojan dropper. Wrong information?

Websites are just podcasts and gmail. Am i getting MiTM?

 

One of the comments on the page you linked said that the hash is the hash of an empty file. Now that the link has been moderated, I can't go back to check to see if this is indeed true.
