December 08, 2006The Difference a Zero-Day Makes
Just want to make a quick post to remind about the importance of keeping current with software updates. Missing a day of updates may not seem that catastrophic (it’s just always so easy to think, “Well, it didn’t hurt me last time”), the fact is, according to Smart Biz, there are 25 new viruses or threats released each day (and that estimate doesn’t give hackers any weekends or holidays off).
So if you let updates go for one day, then two, and pretty soon a whole week has gone by, that means there are now 175 new viruses trying to overrun your PC and break into your network. So to put it simply, you absolutely positively must update. Please.
