When I open Pro Series I get this message wanting to "update" my computer:
"We have detected that your system is running an older version of Microsoft VC++ redistributable. This must be upgraded to latest version for ProSeries to work with latest tax compliances.
Click Ok to continue with installation"
I need to know if this is usual or am I facing a malware issue?

Hi @ak70 @Just-Lisa-Now- -
You are not facing a malware issue. This update is not mandatory at the moment, but if you run into any download or program issues, updating the Visual C++ redistributable package (also known as VC++ redist) to the latest version is important to ensure that your system has the necessary components to run ProSeries. View the article here: Instructions to install VC++ Redistributables.
Reply back if you have any questions and I'll do my best to point you in the right direction.
