PC security researchers have received reports of Trojan:Win32/Colisi.F infections. According to these reports, their security software will detect Trojan:Win32/Colisi.F repeatedly, often flagging certain files associated with Google Chrome. In many cases, Trojan:Win32/Colisi.F detections may indicate a faulty Google Chrome installation. Although the Trojan:Win32/Colisi.F description indicates that Trojan:Win32/Colisi.F is a Trojan, this infection is better classified as a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program). To prevent issues related to Trojan:Win32/Colisi.F, PC security researchers recommend that computer users only download software directly from reputable sources, and always avoid agreeing to the installation of any added components that may not be directly related to the installed software. If your security software is reporting the presence of Trojan:Win32/Colisi.F repeatedly, malware analysts recommend taking steps to ensure that you have installed Google Chrome properly and that all certificates are legitimate.
