X is for XP Updates
On Tuesday, June 10 2008, Microsoft released seven security updates, three of them critical. (See Microsoft website http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/current.aspx). With new vulnerabilities being constantly discovered the danger of one of them being exploited is ever present. The updates to Windows XP are, therefore, an essential aspect to keep your PC safe from such threats. Security software such as PC Tools Spyware Doctor or Kaspersky Internet Security Suite all help in blocking unwanted access or use of your PC but just because you have such software installed is no excuse to leave your PC unpatched with the latest XP Update.
Make sure that your PC is configured to receive updates automatically. You can check that it is in ‘Security Center’ in the Control Panel (click on ‘Start’ then ‘Control Panel’ then ‘Security Center’). XP will notify you when there is an update available and you should install it immediately.
Click HERE for a FREE TRIAL of “Kaspersky Internet Suite” and keep your PC safe.
