Why Get Microsoft Windows Updates?
(It closes the holes in your operating system)


Why Run Microsoft Windows Update

Every operating system has known vulnerablities or 'security holes'. (Computer programs have these vulnerabilities too). Through these holes, nefarious 'netizens' could break into your computer and;
When Microsoft finds a security hole in one of their products, they release a patch that closes that hole. If your computer doesn't have ALL these patches, it isn't protected and your computer is completely vulnerable to all the nasty stuff above. Windows Update is an easy-to-use tool that helps you ensure your PC is running the absolute latest Microsoft software patches and drivers.
