Is my System Fully "Patched" ?
« on: Feb 7th, 2009, 4:24am »
One of common ways the cybercriminals infect home and corporate computer systems is via unpatched Windows operating systems.  Failure to implement that latest Microsoft hotfixes when they are released increases the potential of infections.
 
You can easily determine if your system has all the latest hotfixes available via Microsoft/Windows Update.  BelArc Advisor is a simple tool that shows you.  Download free Belarc from the link below

Note:
Belarc typically issues a new update with 1-3 days after "Hotfix Tuesday" of each month.  You need to download/install the latest version each month.
