Keep your Browser up to Date

Using the most up-to-date operating systems on your computer and phone safeguards them from becoming infected by malware. This is because hackers look for vulnerabilities in various computer and mobile phone operating systems. Phone and computer companies are continuously attempting to identify and patch these flaws before hackers can make use of them. If you don't upgrade your device, it becomes vulnerable to attack.

Always use the most up-to-date version of your browser that your device can support for a safe online shopping or browsing experience. Browsers provide updates on a regular basis to guard against the newest viruses and threats. They also improve the speed of your internet. When you close and reopen your browser, updates normally happen in the background. You should check for pending updates if you haven't updated your browser in a while. For information on how to check for updates, go to the support page for your browser.
