Doing so protects our files and photos, makes sure our software runs smoothly and prevents any data that people share with us – via emails and files uploaded to the cloud – from being exploited by hackers once it’s synced to our own PCs. Although we trust Windows Update entirely, we also believe that responsible computer users – that’s you and us – have a duty to be more proactive. ![]()
