Updating your computer software and ensuring that all of your mobile apps are up to date can take time and many consider it an annoyance. However, consumers who aren’t regularly updating their apps and software are putting themselves at risk of attacks.
These important updates often have improved safety features and help your computer or mobile phone run more smoothly. If you’re forgetful, set weekly or monthly reminders to ensure everything is up to date. Even better, if your updates have the option of manual or automatic installs, change the settings to automatic updates so you don’t need to worry about missing out on a major security patch.
