Windows 10. A very important warning is made for all those who use this operating system developed by the Microsoft company, and you must be extremely attentive to what is said in it. According to the company Avast, specialized in antivirus solutions, the vast majority of computers running Windows 10 do not have the latest updates available from Microsoft installed, and this makes them very vulnerable to hackers.
Windows 10. Apart from the security patches that are offered by Microsoft, users also refuse to install the updates that are available for the applications that they use on a daily basis. Avast says that this is as big a problem as avoiding the installation of patches offered by Microsoft, and users should be very careful about all kinds of updates that are available for Windows 10.
Windows 10 is very vulnerable without the latest updates
Windows 10. Avast analyzed data taken from over 163 million computers running various operating systems, so we are talking about a fairly accurate situation that the company presents to us. Of course, it was to be expected that people would not rush to install the latest updates available for Windows 10, or various other applications since there are so many problems with them, even if this brings other major risks.
Avast, today revealed that more than half (55%) of PC applications installed worldwide are out-of-date, making PC users and their personal data vulnerable to security risks. Avast's PC Trends Report 2019 found that users are making themselves vulnerable to hackers by not implementing security patches and keeping outdated versions of popular applications on their PCs. The applications where updates are most frequently neglected include Adobe Shockwave (96%), VLC Media Player (94%) and Skype (94%).
Windows 10. Even if the patches and updates for your computers have the potential to generate a lot of headaches when they are not 100% ready for release, you must also think about the consequences of ignoring them. Windows 10 had a lot of problems, it will still have more, but if we completely ignore every important update, we put the data we store in our computers at even greater risk, and it's good to be fully aware of these problems.
