Click Smart – Stay Cyber Safe

Tip: Don’t Ignore the Update Reminders

June 2026

We've all been there: you're in the middle of something, a little pop-up appears on your screen asking you to install an update, and you click "Remind Me Later" without a second thought. It happens to just about everyone, but it's a habit worth breaking.

Here's why: software updates do a lot more than add new features or change the way things look. More importantly, they fix security holes - vulnerabilities in your device's software that hackers actively look for and exploit. Every time you postpone an update, you may be leaving a door cracked open for cybercriminals to walk right through.

The good news is that staying protected doesn't have to be complicated. A few simple habits can make a big difference:

Keep everything up to date

That means your operating system, apps, and antivirus software. Each one plays a role in keeping your device secure, and an outdated version of any one of them can create a weak spot.

Set your devices to update automatically

Most phones, tablets, and computers give you the option to install updates automatically, often overnight while you're not using them. Turn this feature on and let your device do the work for you.

Reboot after updates

Many updates don't fully take effect until you restart your device. It only takes a minute, and it ensures the protection you just installed is working.

Cybercriminals count on people being too busy or too comfortable to stay current. Don't give them the advantage. A quick update today could be the thing that keeps your personal information, passwords, and peace of mind right where they belong - safe and secure.
