Updating your computer

Because programs are not perfect, they require updating. Windows XP is a great operating system; however, no operating system is perfect. In order to keep your machine secure and free of the latest exploits, you must update your computer regularly. Visiting the Windows Update Web site (www.WindowsUpdate.com ) once every few months is not going to result in a secure, up-to-date computer. Microsoft releases security updates monthly and emergency security updates whenever they are needed. The only way to stay on top of these updates is to check Windows Update daily, subscribe to the Microsoft Security Newsletter, or enable automatic updates.
