Title: TOR Security
Post by: ato72543 on October 17, 2012, 05:59 pm
Every time I start TOR now it says a security update is available.  Well I go to the downloads page and there is nothing there to download referring to a security update.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I'm getting the same message and came to the forum to confirm whether this is legit.
I haven't clicked the provided link yet but went to the Tor site directly. There's no mention of any "Security Updates for Tor Bundle"
Has anyone "Updated"?
and if you have,
are you now not reading this post because you downloaded some machine-eating, idendity-stealing, microvirus?
Let us know (somehow)
 :)

Right. It had a link to go to downloads page, but there is nothing there about security updates.

LOL Really?
Ok.. well... what you need to do is redownload Tor in it's entirely. There isn't just an 'update' to download.

Yep - I had the same problem, looked everywhere for the download, didn't see it so just downloaded the current one on Tor Website which is an updated version.
No probs - downloaded and ready to go  :)

If it says there is an update, just download the lastest bundle from the Tor site. It will include any updates.
