The world we live in is getting more and more dangerous every day (as evidenced by Monday’s post about the latest banking crimeware) so it is important that you take the measures necessary to keep your technology safe.
There are always the basics like keeping your Windows Operating System updated and running good anti-virus software like Norton 360.
However a frequently overlooked aspect of your computers security are the outdated third party programs like Adobe Reader, Flash, iTunes, etc that hackers can use as gateways into your personal information and banking data.
There is a super simple solution called SecureUpdater that takes care of everything for you and there is even a 15-day free trial.
In my weekly omaha Morning Blend appearance I explained how these outdated programs can become a security nightmare for your computer:

Cyber criminals don’t use their real name and open accounts leaving their face book picture on the computer while they committed the crime. The criminal would have to be known and found with evidence that it is that person doing it.
SecureUpdater, I will check and try it.

Thanks Thor, I just read the other article about the bank phishing scheme. I had not seen that yet. Hackers are out there more than ever now, just last week one of my sites got hacked through the sever and the guy had to go out of business. Not sure if it was just that but it was bad. It is more important than ever to keep your security software current and up to date.
It is necessary to keep the softwares updated as it may be hacked anytime and also necessary to use anti virus.
The video was very interesting and very helpful for me.Thanks for sharing the post.

I use antimalware and antivirus plus a firewall. Will certainly give a try to that software. Security is my greatest concern when I’m online
Can Secure Updater work in enterprise level (corporate environment)? Can I use it to update all my computers in my network with the click of a button?
