update third-party software
Many applications in use today are full-featured and complex bits of software to help with work or leisure. Some of these applications may provide a lot of assistance, but they are programmed by a person, and no one is perfect. Some of these programs have holes or bugs in them that are unnoticed when the product is released or sold. These holes and bugs are often ways to exploit the programs to compromise the security of your computer. To keep your computer as secure as you can, you should periodically check the applications you use for updates. For specific assistance with updating your applications contact the Ohio University Help Desk at (740)593-1222.
