Hello everyone,
If your kitchen window screen has a hole in it then bugs are going to get into your house. You better “patch” the screen, right? If your computer programs develop any kind of “hole” in them, then you are allowing malicious software bugs to get into your machine. These malicious invaders will infect your machine in various ways. Every month these “holes” are patched by both Microsoft (through automatic updates), and by the other various third party programs (listed below). Don’t delay, apply these patches now and lock down your machines security. Don’t let anything in!
