Don’t ignore updates! We get busy and they always seem to pop up at the most inconvenient times, but most updates are primarily security updates, so run them ASAP.
- Be on the lookout for fake update warnings. Bad guys use those to trick us.
- If you don’t run those updates, you’re lagging behind and are more vulnerable. Set your devices and systems to auto-update.
Never use unlicensed versions of software or an operating system – they frequently carry malware. Only download software updates from reputable sources.
Updates help keep a piece of software or a system current. Because new threats are being developed all the time, manufacturers will send out fixes and updates to help protect their users from new threats — or just from problems they didn’t find when the software was first made. If someone discovers a security problem in a program and a user doesn’t download the update to fix the problem, they are basically leaving a door open. You take a big step in protecting your system when you are smart about updates. Here are some tips. First, always update the big three – your security software, your web browser and your operating system. Those three are absolutely critical for keeping you and your information safe! Second, you can enable auto-update. Check your programs’ settings; the option is usually in there to automatically download new updates whenever one is available.
Always Look For these Things!
Communicate Safely
There are more than four billion people on the internet today, and many of them use social media to communicate. But while social media can be fun and a great way to chat with friends, it can be risky as well.
What To DO
You can take a few simple precautions to keep yourself and your friends and family safe on social media. Here’s how. First, always use the strongest privacy settings you can. Check the Settings section of your social media profile and make sure what you are posting can only be seen by your friends. Second, think about what you post before you post it. It is easy for people to misunderstand a joke or a fun meme, especially with billions of people out there who might see it. It’s easy to avoid this, though. Think of your social media as your clothes: there are some things you wouldn’t wear in public because people would laugh or think it was not a good choice.
Share Responsibly
When people share personal information about themselves, they may become targets for scammers and identity thieves.
Beware of Scammers
Scammers and criminals may try to steal people’s information and money when they shop online as well.
