Security & Software Updates

At Work

Security and software updates are automatically uploaded to computer workstations within the Student Services Division. Critical updates can occur daily. For this reason it is encouraged that workstations be shut down nightly when leaving the office.

At Home

Update operating system (i.e. Windows)

Keep it updated! Not only your operating software but your productivity software such as Microsoft Office.

These patches fix security holes and other issues that could compromise the security of your system.

Browse to http://update.microsoft.com/ on your Windows computer to begin updating.

Update Anti-Virus Software

The process for updating your Anti-Virus software depends on the specific program that you have. Most Anti-Virus software today has a feature to automatically keep you up to date with virus definitions. You can also manually update your anti-virus software. To do this you must open the program and initiate the update process.
