Google Chrome WARNING for Windows & Mac Users.

GOOGLE CHROME WARNING!

Google are warning all users of Windows and Mac using Google Chrome, to immediately update their Google Chrome Browser as they have found that Hackers have exploited a mystery bug that has been present since it’s start up.

It’s easy to update in just a few moments.

Just go to the three dots in the top right of your browser.
Come down to and click on Help
Go across to and click on About Google Chrome

It will then automatically update your Google Chrome to ensure it is safe.

Are you sure it's Google Chrome telling you to do it, that's the thing, you can't trust anything that tells you to do anything these days!

Coincidentally if you Google it you will find several areas where this is reported so appears to be genuine.

Re: Google Chrome WARNING for Windows & Mac Users.

The information is on the Internet but anyway, if the program is being updated by going into the browser's own menu (Help > About Google Chrome), which is the only way it should be done, then the check will be with Google's server and not any 3rd party place.
