It might seem strange, but in most cases computer users are the ones who install Chrome_patch.hta on their systems themselves. Similarly to other adware applications, Chrome_patch.hta is so smart that it can make you download it without even realizing it. Most often, the adware enters your PC bundled with other freeware and keeps its presence in secret until the multiple adverts start showing up on your monitor. In fact, this is not unusual at all because freeware usually travels bundled with malware as this is its easiest access point to the system.

There are some other ways that Chrome_patch.hta uses to infiltrate your PC. These include hiding behind spam email attachments, corrupted links and websites, or just posing as a bogus system or a program update. For instance, just when you are convinced that you’re updating an application on your computer, it turns out that you’re actually giving green light to adware instead. So, if you want to avoid unwillingly installing adware on the system, you should be very careful and remember that haste, naivety, and distraction will certainly not help you at all.

If Chrome_patch.hta has been installed on your PC, your web browser will get flooded with tones of useless commercial advertisements.

As already mentioned, among these issues are slowing down your Internet speed, experiencing frequent system crashes and interrupting your browsing activity. Thus, the best thing you could do is to remove Chrome_patch.hta from your computer immediately.
