First things first, the operating system is a software that manages the hardware and allows all the programs that the computer and cell phone have loaded to work with. Keeping the software or system update is very importance. It is the only way to avoid problems of vulnerability and operation of the operating system, applications and programs of our computer. Although this time the word update usually generates some discomfort in several users, since it refers to changes that we may not be willing to introduce.
The operating system update, both automatic and manual, fulfill the function of protecting our equipment from multiple threats such as viruses and malicious programs as well as guaranteeing a fast and efficient operation, reducing the chances of failures. That is why it is so necessary to allow automatic updates to run as it is to regularly access software developers to verify the existence of updates and new versions available to users.
On the other hand, updates to antivirus programs are essential to prevent the action of threats while browsing the Internet and when exchanging different types of files. If the antivirus is not updated periodically, it is incapable of fulfilling the objective for which it was conceived, which is to act as a protection against danger from outside and our team.
Any program is susceptible to security flaws. For this reason, it may need to be updated regardless of the device on which it is installed. This includes the programs and operating systems of computers, tablets, smartphones, video game consoles, and even smart televisions.
We must be aware that there are also browsers, programs, plugins, etc. installed on our devices. which of course also need to be updated to keep them up to date and well protected. Updates to antivirus tools will only be effective if they are up to date. It is useless to have an antivirus installed if it is unable to detect the latest threats circulating on the network.
