Hi All,

Tech tip of the day.

Google released a new version of their browser to fix a critical vulnerability in their Chrome browser that threat actors (bad guys) are actively exploiting.

To protect yourself. Check you are using chrome on your desktop. If you are, follow the below.

…………..

Normally updates happen in the background when you close and reopen your computer's browser. But if you haven't closed your browser in a while, you might find a pending update:

On your computer, open Chrome.
At the top right, select More (vertical three dots)
If an update is pending, you'll find:
"Relaunch to update" or
"Finish update" or
"New Chrome available".

To update Google Chrome:

- On your computer, open Chrome.
- At the top right, click More (vertical three dots)
- Click Help and then About Google Chrome.
- Click Update Google Chrome.

Click Relaunch.
The browser saves your opened tabs and windows and reopens them automatically when it restarts. Your Incognito windows won't reopen when Chrome restarts. If you'd prefer not to restart right away, click Not now. The next time you restart your browser, the update will be applied.

Important: If you can't find this button (update Google chrome), you're on the latest version.

Have a good week. Stay safe.
