This latest attack tries to trick users into downloading an important upgrade but instead of adding new features and fixing issues it actually installs nasty malware instead.

The attack is activated once a Chrome user clicks on a bogus website with an error message instantly appearing which suggests an urgent upgrade is needed to continue browsing.
