Windows Security Issue?


Quiver

Recommended Posts

So... a friend of mine was just mentioning that there is some security issue with the current version of Windows, and that there was an update available for it?

I admit, I know absolutely nothing about computers, so I hadn't heard anything, but... yeah. Was wondering if anyone could confirm that?
(And also, how does one update an OS? I always just wait until I get a text box saying that the computer needs to restart and let it handle that stuff on it's own...)

The particular "ransomware" has already been disabled--there was apparently a kill switch in the software--and in any case the update has already rolled out to everyone. No need to worry.

I've heard the virus mutated to not contain killswitches.

Now, when did I last updated my OS...
