Time to Update Windows

A number of important updates for Microsoft Windows has been released today.

If you aren't sure if your computer has updated itself, just open Internet Explorer, go to Tools, Windows Update to check manually.

Windows also has an Automatic Updates feature to take care of this for you. Go to Start, Control Panel, Performance & Maintenance, System, then click Automatic Updates. Select "Keep my computer up to date" and select automatically downloading the updates at a convenient time that you won't be using the computer, such as during lunchtime or after midnight.

It's important to keep your computer's system files up to date so that you aren't vulnerable to viruses, worms and other threats.
