Keep Your System Updated

January 14, 2010

I would find it hard to believe that any of you don’t have some Adobe product on your system. If nothing else, you probably have Adobe Reader to view and print PDF files. Adobe released some very important security updates that covered Adobe Reader, Adobe Acrobat and other Adobe products. These patches address serious security concerns and should be installed as soon as possible. If the Adobe Updater doesn’t get them automatically, go to the Help menu of any Adobe program and select Check for Updates. As I have the full CS4 suite on my system, it was nearly 400 MB of downloads and took nearly an hour.

The second Tuesday of the month is also the date when Microsoft releases their patches. So while you are updating, make sure to also install the latest updates for Windows and Office so that your system is protected against those who wish to do harm to our computing.
