Myths About Security
True or False…
Security software works just like other software on my computer. I don't need a subscription to make it work.
False
Security software actually functions differently than other software programs. For it to work effectively, security software needs to be regularly updated with information about the most recent Internet threats. This information enables the software to identify and catch suspicious material that tries to enter your computer.
To make sure your security software is receiving regular updates, you would need to activate a subscription with the company that makes the software. The activation is what turns on the software so that it can provide protection.
