2. How many of your program files on your PC are out of
date?
What do you mean you don’t know?
Hmmm….maybe you didn’t know that older versions of
software are potential security risks? A lot of the time
software is updated exclusively to plug a hole or stop a
certain exploit. So by running older outdated software
releases you might be doing more damage than you
know! Thus make sure to keep your software up to date.
