Chrome Update - Security Patch ASAP

[Janet H]

Hi folks - Please update chrome at the very first opportunity if you have it installed on your PC/laptop (even if you are not regularly using chrome).

An important security update patch was released by google on Friday and action is needed.

My Chrome updates automatically each time I open the Chrome browser.

Chrome updates automatically each time you open the Chrome browser.

I think this is some sort of phishing.

No, chrome doesn't always automatically update depending on your settings.

Do your research, read the news, choose for yourself but this current exploit is serious. If you have an outdated version of chrome you are vulnerable. The current version is: 99.0.4844.84

My version of chrome is set to manually update, so I appreciated the heads-up, Janet!
