Keeping your software up to date

Keeping your software up to date is one the easiest and most important things you can do to stay safe online. Updates often fix bugs or loopholes attackers can exploit to gain access to your data, infect your device with malware or ransomware, and even remotely take over your computer.

Challenge: Take 15 minutes to check your devices for software updates and get current. 

For convenience and speed, turn on automatic software updates. If you prefer to update software manually, set up an alert to remind you to check for updates once a month.
