April Reminders-Updating-Java and Adobe

I know this is April 1st, and of course there are always jokes being play on everyone. Keeping everything on your computer updated is not something you want to joke about. If you want to keeping your computer working, you need to keep on top of "updating".  As aways check out the Virus Protection, Spyware software protection, Window Updates.  Now there are a couple more software programs you need to be aware of. Every once in awhile you will see something called Java pop up down in the bottom right hand side.  It will say something like a new version of this software is available, Do you want to install now or be reminded later.  It is important for you to install this as soon as possible.  Also Adobe Flash, and Adobe Reader will also pop up and ask, do you want to install now or be reminded later. The same thing applies, you need to install the update as soon as possible.  The reason for any update is basicly-- the companies that writes the stuff for the software have found the "bad guys" trying to get in, so the will write a patch to close the hole. This is protection for your computer.
