Yes I remember that too, worded with scummy, deceiving wording, like most other malware/spyware at the time. Instead of “Virus detected! Click here for free scan” it was “Old browser detected. Click here to upgrade”. It was literally 100% out of the malware deployment hand guide.

In this case Chrome was actually miles better and secure than those old browsers though. It wasn't deceiving, it was the truth.
