For Gosh Sake’s, People, Update Windows!
Updating Windows is the primary defense against viruses and malware. Users of more modern version of Windows can specify in the Security Center to have updates automatically download and install. There is a setting, however, to have updates download and NOT install. This is probably due to businesses wanting to control what is pushed through in an update. For instance, some companies may not want Internet Explorer 8 to automatically install because it could break the way they do business. But if you’re a home user, there really is no reason not to have Windows download and install updates automatically. If you do not let Windows handle it, you could find yourself behind in security patches and your system might already be compromised. If you try to visit Windows Update but can’t, you might already be infected. Contact one of our support technicians to make sure you’re not.
Our online computer repair department is more than willing to assist you in configuring your updates and making sure you’re up to date on all the things your computer needs to know!
