Poll description

Many people might select “Remind me later” when we see an update alert. However, many software updates are created to fix security risks. Keeping software up to date is an easy way for us to stay safer online. To make updates even more convenient, turn on the automatic updates in the device’s or application’s security settings!

Keep Software Up to Date with Three Simple Steps.

𝐖𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐈𝐅𝐈𝐂𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒:

Our devices will usually notify us that we need to run updates. This includes our devices’ operating systems, programs and apps. It’s important to install ALL updates, especially for our web browsers and antivirus software.

𝐈𝐍𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐋 𝐔𝐏𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐒 𝐀𝐒 𝐒𝐎𝐎𝐍 𝐀𝐒 𝐏𝐎𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐁𝐋𝐄:

When notified about software updates, especially critical updates, we should be sure to install them as soon as possible. Malicious online criminals won’t wait, so we shouldn’t either!

𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐍 𝐎𝐍 𝐀𝐔𝐓𝐎𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐂 𝐔𝐏𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐒:

With automatic updates, our devices will install updates without any input from us as soon as the update is available—Easy!

To turn on the automatic updates feature, look in the device’s settings, possibly under Software or Security. Search settings for “automatic updates” if needed.
