Software upgrades these days are handled via the internet. Windows, in particular, automates as much of these updates as possible, right down to automatically scheduling them during ‘off hours’. When software updates work as intended, your computer continues to work as you expect it to. Of course, there are the horror-stories about these updates failing to work properly. And sometimes despite a software developer’s best efforts, an update introduces, or re-introduces, potentially serious flaws. These stories might make one hesitant to apply any updates, despite how important they truly are. Fortunately, you can rely on Tech 2U to handle computer software upgrades in Rocklin, for home and business machines!

Not keeping your software up to date may seem like a safe way to ensure that the things that “just work” stay working exactly as you expect. It’s a legitimate concern! We’ve all been surprised by opening a newly updated program to see that everything has been shifted around.

However, those software updates do more than move buttons around or add features. Security holes are found constantly be people seeking to exploit them. Software developers, in turn, are constantly trying to find these holes and patch them before they are exploited. The problem is that not everyone applies these patches. Many malware infections spread specifically by exploiting entire networks of computers that have not applied the most recent software updates. This not only makes the data on those machines vulnerable, they potentially may affect even your machine should you connect to the wrong website, or click the wrong link.
