Apply the needed Patches
Step 3 - Apply the needed patches and updates - After you have fenced your computer and cured it, let's work on the construction. Some parts of the construction may be old and need some re-construction. This page will help you to automatically fix the old parts of the operating system and apply patches to update it for known vulnerabilities and weaknesses with window update. You would be foolish not to do so.
When you have updated your operating system, go to step 4 and remove spyware, adware and other forms of malware.
Operating System Critical Security Updates
Microsoft "Critical Updates" patch known security holes in your Windows operating system and MUST be applied to prevent your
computer from being compromised.
Microsoft NEVER sends patches by e-mail. Do not open e-mail attachments claiming to be Microsoft patches. Review How to Tell If a Microsoft Security-Related Message Is Genuine for more information.
Microsoft does provide a free e-mail alert service informing subscribers when security update announcements are released. See below.
| Update your Windows Operating System with critical updates |
All
Windows Users |
Use Internet Explorer.
First time user run Windows Update.
Experienced Users:
If Automatic Downloading has been set, click "Install" when notified on your desktop that new updates are available to install.
OR
Verify the accuracy of your computer's date / time and then go to windowsupdate.microsoft.com
to scan your computer and patch your system.
You normally will have to restart your computer upon completion. |
