After an automatic reboot, I assume from a Windows auto-update, a browser 
window came up from this url: 
http://www.clickoncechrome.com/install.html#update2

"ClickOnce for Chrome got an important update" web page loaded automatically, 
is this legitimate?

What version of the product are you using? 2.0.1 
On what operating system? Win 7 Home Premium 

Thanks for the help
Jeff

Yes it is legit.

Chrome is removing NPAPI support which means the old codebase of ClickOnce for 
Chrome will no longer work.

This is why ClickOnce got updated and now needs a separate helper application 
to do the launching.

The info page currently comes up every 7 days as long as the extension cannot 
detect the helper app installed (because the extension in and of itself cannot 
function).
