How To Update Your Google Chrome Web Browser Right Now

Although the security updates for Google Chrome will start rolling out in the coming days and weeks, according to Google, I would recommend you kickstart that process right now to ensure that your data is protected from exploit.

Head for the Help|About option in your Google Chrome menu to kickstart an automatic security update download. Restart your Google Chrome browser after the update has been installed, or it will not activate, and you will still be vulnerable to attack.
