Fortunately, none of the cyber flaws had been exploited by hackers in the wild.

Your Chrome web browser will eventually update itself automatically in the coming days and weeks.

But you can update it manually yourself to get protected today.

Simply follow these steps:

  1. Load chrome://settings/help in the browser's address bar
    • Or select Menu > Help > About Google Chrome.
  2. Chrome runs a check for updates and displays the current version that is installed. Any new version that it finds is downloaded and installed at this point.
  3. Restart the browser.

The update you're looking for is titled:

  • Chrome for Mac and Linux: 115.0.5790.170
  • Chrome for Windows: 115.0.5790.170 or 115.0.5790.171

Chrome for Android updates are powered by Google Play and there is no way to speed up getting the update.
