How to be most productive online. Update your computer!

Are you having difficulties with your computer?

Do things not always work right?

Does it lock up?  Crash?

Aggravating isn't it?

It is your responsibility to make sure your computer is running smooth and updated with the latest updates from Microsoft.  You also need to make sure you are covered with Anti-Virus and Spyware protection.

The number one thing you can do is visit.  www.windowsupdate.com and make sure your computer is up to date and that all security flaws have been fixed.

This is more important than Anti-Virus or anything else.

If you don't patch the boat it will sink no matter how many pumps and buckets you use. 

Use www.windowsupdate.com and your computer issues will be a thing of the past.  At least for now.  New patches come out almost daily so stay up to date and learn how to maintain your computer.

Don't forget www.adobe.com updates for flash content.  This is really important too.

It is FREE so make sure you use it.  Try the custom feature to get updates to all your software and hardware drivers.

Very good tips, Brian...thanks for the informative post.   I have skipped the adobe updates...do you think that could be causing internet explorer to run slower?

www.Adobe.com updates your Flash player.

Flash is used for all kinds of things.  Bad things can be embed in videos and files with flash content.  MAKE DOUBLE SURE.  you have the latest updates to protect yourself and others.

Real audio and quicktime and others need updated too.  Automatic updates don't always work so make sure you know what you have installed and make sure you are protected.

Don't risk infecting your whole office, all your friends and all your clients because you are too busy or don't understand how it all works.
