Platinum Monitoring & Patching

Can spyware steal your Business Files? Your credit card?

Windows malware a direct result of unpatched applications

Danish security firm CSIS studied a half a million virus infections over 3 months in 2011. 85% of the infections were based on ‘exploit kits’ – standard hacker tools easily exploited by criminals (or kids!). These ‘exploit kits’ attack known problems in Windows, Java, and Adobe products.

They concluded, “as much as 99.8 % of all virus/malware infections caused by commercial exploit kits are a direct result of the lack of updating five specific software packages.”

We used to recommend that people do their own patching and updating – but most of us no longer have time to become ‘experts’ in dozens of computer programs.

Which version of Java/Acrobat/etc. should I have? Is the latest version stable?
Should I patch programs I never use? (Yes! – or get rid of them)
How can I tell a ‘real’ software patch from malware that looks like an ‘update’
