Title: security update ?
Post by: binsky on August 04, 2012, 02:30 pm
I am sure that this has probably been answered already, but i cant seem to find what i am looking for.The question i have is   -   When i launch Tor it says " Congratulations you are using Tor".. But underneath that it also says "security update please download".Well i dont know if i should  download this "security update" because everything has been working fine without it.Have others downloaded this and if so IS IT NECCESSARY. any help would be appreciated.

Any time you get the message "security update please download", stop tor.
Delete the old tor, resraet the sistem and download the new version, and install it!!!
Allways!!! ;)

Oh yeah, for sure keep this shit updated. It's a pet peeve of mine when people ignore updates. Updates usually make software faster, better, and, in Tor's case, safer. This new update also got rid of those black boxes in the top right corner.

So be sure to update binsky!

The Tor Browser Bundle was updated to 2.2.37-2 on July 29th. Make sure you update.

Download the english TBB directly from the tor homepage here: https://www.torproject.org/download/download-easy.html.en

Make sure the link says "https://" and that your browser's secure banking padlock icon is displayed.
