Keeping programs up to date

Software updates may sound annoying, but they protect your laptop from new threats.

Why are updates important?

• Bugs in programs are being fixed

• Security vulnerabilities are being patched

• Performance is improved

• Viruses have less chance

Cybercriminals actively search for outdated programs that they can exploit.

What do you need to update?

1. Windows or macOS

2. Your browser (Chrome/Edge/Safari)

3. Your antivirus & security software

4. Commonly used apps such as Zoom, Office and Adobe

Automatically update

The easiest way is to turn on automatic updates.
With Swaptop laptops this is usually already set correctly.
