If Chrome is your favoured browser then you should head to the settings, check which version you are running and restart this popular software without delay.
This new advice has been issued after Google released an update which fixes a total of 6 vulnerabilities within its Chrome browser.
If that wasn't bad enough, it's also been confirmed that one of the bugs has been given the dreaded zero-day rating. That basically means cyber crooks are already aware of the flaw and are actively exploiting it.
Things have now been fixed but it's vital that make sure you are running the latest version - 138.0.7204.157/.158 for Windows, Mac and 138.0.7204.157 for Linux.
"Google has released an update for its Chrome browser to patch six security vulnerabilities, including one zero-day," the security experts at Malwarebytes explained.
"This update is crucial since it addresses one actively exploited vulnerability, which can be abused when the user visits a malicious website. It doesn’t require any further user interaction, which means the user doesn’t need to click on anything in order for their system to be compromised."

This latest alert comes after users were also urged to update their browsers early this month due to another zero-day bug being found.
These aren't the only concerns, as security experts also confirmed that millions of Chrome users had also been targeted by fake extensions that could leave them open to attack.
Those affected have been urged to fully reset their Chrome software and clear all browsing data.
Google says that it has since removed all the affected extensions, so no new users should be infected.
