Ransomware On Google Chrome

In addition to that, if he doesn't have sudo access, then he isn't able to run his own updates.  He's somewhat at your mercy then.  A non-updated PC, particularly one with an out of date browser, is an easier mark for ransomware like this.  It might be worth giving him sudo access so he can update his own computer.

and Chrome just had a 46.5 mb redo.
changed from Windows 10 to a REAL OS
