I highly recommend you to remove salus.exe.
It seems to be hijacking google chrome!
Since salus.exe was found on my system google chrome became unable to open any website and gave me error message about https/SSL. After disabling all time-stamp settings in the advanced browser option i was able to open a few websites. But the browser was processing very slow and I've got spammed with ads all around. Unfortunately no Virus scanner detected this executable. So, to remove it you need to end the salus.exe and another executable (that can be found in the directory where salus.exe is saved) and then delete the salus-folder in C:\Programs x86.
Now everything should be working fine again

The gentleman or lady above me needs more thumbs up!
This executable went along with "CrashMoon.exe" and totally screwed up my Chrome, leading to a constant "SSL ConnectionError" aling with ads all over the rare working websites. Firefox and IE wouldn't work as well from it.
Kill both those files in the TaskManager and delete the folder in which they are contained!

Yeah, Salus.exe is adware and should be removed. I've posted more on the Salus adware here:
