Third Party Program Updates For The Month Of May 2014

     patch
Hello everyone,

It is not enough anymore to just keep your Operating System updated and patched. Many third party (non Microsoft) programs need constant updating also. If these programs are left unpatched, your system is wide open to attack. Most of the malware attacks that I see in my computer repair business are due to outdated versions of third party applications like the ones shown below. Please take a look at the May 2014 third party updates, and get the most recent versions as soon as you can. I have linked to three great automatic updaters. Check them out!
