I'm posting this here since it didn't seem to me that it fit in the CNC or woodworking categories, plus it won't be tagged here. Anyway, this is a message Dave Richards posted on another forum I frequent. He is a member here, but doesn't visit that often so I thought I'd copy and paste his post here...complete credit to him. This may be of interest to some of you. "I happened to see a question on that other woodworking forum from someone who opened SketchUp 2017 Make recently and got a message regarding potential security issues. It seems likely that some folks here might see the same thing so I thought I'd address it. Trimble has after nearly 5 years removed the link for SketchUp 2017 Make from their website. Their official statement is here. For those who are still using this version, you will need to make a decision about what to do concerning the security issue. It's kind of the same thing with any old software that can access the internet or can be accessed from the internet. I don't think I'd panic about this message but it's good to be aware of it. For those who are thinking they'd like to start using SketchUp 2017 Make, I will say there are unofficial sources for the installer. I'm not going to share those links, however, because I don't know what nasty stuff might get downloaded with it and I don't want to be blamed if someone has problems due to a virus or other mean and nasty stuff being included. The browser-based versions of SketchUp are very usable and while they don't yet have the ability to use extensions, they are quite capable."
