So what software should you be updating?

Security software. Whether you use antivirus or firewall programs that
were pre-installed on your device or that you bought on your own, make
sure they’re up to date.

Operating system software. Your operating system could be Windows, Apple
OS, etc. If you’re not sure how to update your operating system, go to
the website of your device manufacturer for help.

So why are you posting this here?

It's important information propagated by the US government.

Many folk just don't understand how sophisticated the 'bad guys' have
become - they can run rings around the average computer user.

An updated O/s probably wouldn't run on my computer -- not enough
resources. People are using Windows XP because they aren't rich enough
to buy a new computer every few months.

IIRC, I started using Windows XP when it was first introduced in 2002 -
it really is 'old hat' now! If you drove a motor vehicle of that age you
might well expect it to suffer more breakdowns than a new or nearly new car!

Internet browsers and apps. Both are access points for criminals to
enter your devices, so it’s important to keep them secure.

I downdated my browser when it got too bloated to run on my OS. The
newest version tells me it won't run at all, get a new computer.
Whuich means getyting a new2 OS, and finding that hal my software
won't run on it.

Then it's probably time to change your software too, Steve! ;-)

As a Christian you will be well aware that the Devil is ever present.
Here in these Usenet groups he goes by the name of 'Shadow' - I suggest
you don't pay heed to anything he posts or claims.

May God Bless You, Steve. :-)
