Reports on Monday surfaced claiming video editors in Los Angeles were discovering their Mac Pro workstations were refusing to boot or would 'slowly crash' during use. While initial reports proposed the issue was malware or a virus affecting Avid Media Composer version 8.8 or later on a 6.1 Mac Pro running a version of macOS prior to High Sierra, investigations led to the issue with the Chrome update.

Assuming an afflicted computer's boot drive is called 'Macintosh HD' Google recommends running the following list of commands in Terminal, then rebooting.
