Scam alert: Beware fake update notices for the Chrome browser

Posted on August 7, 2022

If you’ve been using the Internet for any length of time you probably know how important it is to keep your web browser(s) updated with the latest security updates.

Security holes that can allow hackers and scammers to cause all kinds of grief for innocent users are “patched” via security updates on a regular basis, so we’re all used to installing those updates as they are released.

Unfortunately, hackers are once again taking advantage of our familiarity with security updates to trick us into downloading dangerous malware onto our systems.

Important: Critical Updates are available for both Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat

Acrobat is worth keeping in my opinion, but be sure to update it immediately whenever a new update for it is released.
