Here it is! -[http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/chromium_auto_updater.html]-

You just need to install the package and run the "update" process in [Start->All Programs->Chromium]
It will automatically update itself several times per day, showing a notification, but you can do it at any time!

Hope that was helpful!

I suggest you to install an antivirus ASAP.

I just dont need a real time AV
I use windows only for gaming, and rarely to surf internet, so i can keep my OS clean, fast and performing
I'm doing the 90% of my activities on linux, except gaming, and that's enough to keep my laptop clean
I never plug in windows any usb device, never download any 'risky' software, never install programs that i can run on linux (essentially all my needs are satisfied by linux software)

Just dont need a real time av, and want to keep my windows as light as i can

Well said! So begins the New Debian Age...

Does 'Just dont need a real time av, and want to keep my windows as light as i can'
also exclude Windows...(oops!) I meant Microsoft Security Essentials if it's already built it?
PSsst *whispers: It's what we use on our Windows 7.

@Cats-4_Owners-2, never pronounce more than one of the words 'windows'-'defender'-'security' in the same phrase! ROFL

Foxit PDF Reader any good? I currently just stick to Adobe Reader considering its a lot more well known and trusted. Not that I ever download PDFs? Lol.

 

[vrb93]

I dont like to use AdobeReader for its vulnerabilities and because it's much heavier compared to other alternatives.
You can try SumatraPDF that's a very light pdf viewer, or Foxit too, but keep in mind that its latest versions are bundled with PUPs in the setup, so be careful.

I suggest you Sumatra, let me know your experience with it!

Looks good !! Thanks for sharing your config

 

[Terry Ganzi]

Okay. Next time I need to open a PDF I know to use Sumatra, but I rarely use PDF's so.. xD
