All computers run software and that software is targeted by hackers who want to cause disruption or steal.  Over time therefore they find vulnerabilities in the code that software uses. The software designers obviously want to protect their product and reputation, so they regularly send out Security Updates to their code in order to stay one step ahead of the hackers and fraudsters. We need to manage security updates so that they are uploaded to your computer as soon as they are released in order to keep the software functioning properly and the data on your computer safe from damage and theft. We will manage your security updates for you using our Remote Monitoring Suite so that you don’t have to worry about it. In addition to Windows updates, we ensure that Microsoft Office, Chrome, Firefox, iTunes and Java are all kept up to date. For a full list of Approved Business Software that we support click here.
