Browser update required for email

GBChesterson — Thu, 24 Aug 2023 16:37:22 GMT

I have received an email to update asking me to update my browser setting for email from IE 8 as it is not supported from the 28th August. it is asking me to click on a link to update. is this a scam or genuine ?

IE8 is indeed out of date and you should update the browser by visiting a browser site like Microsoft or Chrome directly without folding links in email for safety.

@GBChesterson IE8 is an old browser and has been superseded by newer versions, you should be able to download a more up to date browser from microsoft's website https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/internet-explorer.aspx

Note Microsoft Edge is the latest browser, to update your browser use the official websites and not any links.

@GBChesterson

Are you actually using I.E.8? It should have been replaced ages ago.

What OS (operating system) are you using?

@GBChesterson

It is possibly a scam email especially as it has a link in it that it would you to click through but the question has to be asked are you actually using IE 8 ?
