What are software updates and patches?
Software updates and patches close holes – or weaknesses – in your computer’s software. So it’s important to keep them up to date to protect your computer.
Please regularly check the manufacturer’s websites for updates to your operating system (for example Windows 7 or Apple OSX) and your web browser (for example Internet Explorer or Firefox).
Get Windows and Internet Explorer updates.
