Program Updates
It is important to keep your
computer up-to-date by installing the updates for your installed programs.
Things like Windows, Office, Java, Adobe, and your antivirus programs will need
updated on a weekly or monthly basis. Sometimes your computer will notify you
when an update needs installed. If you did not specify that you would like to
receive automatic updates when you installed the program you may have to check
if your programs need updating on your own.
These updates are important to do
because they ensure that your programs 1) are protected against any known
security threats, 2) have the latest features available for your use, and 3)
can interact smoothly with new features on other programs.
