DO YOUR COMPUTER UPDATES!


SO Important to Install Your Computers Updates!!
Have you ever had a notice come up on your computer to update software and restart your computer?  How many times have you said to yourself,  “It’s working fine, I will do it later”?  No matter when those darn updates want to happen, it is never a good time; you will almost always be in the middle of something important.  Well the truth is, it might not be a good time then, but I can guarantee that your computer will start having issues causing you more time in the long run!
As threats emerge, software manufacturers are constantly updating their operating systems and the applications to block those threats.  You can look at it like a locksmith and a burglar.  Hackers try to find holes in the software and try to get in the back door so to speak.  Software manufacturers are trying to keep the locks secure and make sure you don’t ‘leave a window open’ for a burglar.  But in order to make sure all windows and doors are locked and secure, you need to download those updates as they become available to make sure you are getting the maximum protection for our computer.  And lets face it, programs have kinks to be worked out, and updates provide us a free and easy way to fix those bugs. 

Updating your computer will:
  •         Protect you against some malware/virus 
  •     Will protect you against cyber-criminal attacks
  •        Will improve your computers performance
  •        Will fix bugs
  •        Adds new features of the software
  •         Will prevent printing issues
  •        Will prevent problems with the way you are interacting with web pages
 


IT IS GOOD TO SHUT DOWN YOUR COMPUTER AND RESTART IT EVERY NOW AND THEN!
It is an IT’s greatest repair secret
