Keeping your computers safe and up to date - automatically
Bruceb Remote Management will review and install updates to Windows, Office, Firefox, Chrome, Java, Flash, Adobe Acrobat & Reader, and other important programs and utilities – automatically and silently.
Most malware attacks are aimed at vulnerabilities that have already been patched. When you’re led to a poisoned web site (and you will be), it will be searching for an out of date program that can be broken in a way that allows a bit of malware to be installed. Each update closes another small vector of attack. The attacks work because most people don’t install updates in a timely way.
What is the update service?
We're notified whenever an update is released for Windows, Office, Java, Flash, Adobe Acrobat & Reader, and many more programs and utilities. We review each one and approve the ones that are safe to install. Your computers automatically install new updates every morning, before you start work.
You'll get these benefits:
- SECURITY You’ll be at less risk from malware delivered by poisoned web sites, because browser add-ins like Java and Flash will be up to date on your computer.
- PEACE OF MIND You won’t be bothered by popup windows and balloons about updates. The nonstop barrage of Java update notices will disappear.
The update service does not replace Microsoft’s Automatic Updates for Windows and Office. You’ll still get the full benefit of Microsoft’s update system, and your computer will still restart after installing critical updates once a month on Patch Tuesday. The Bruceb Remote Management system will identify any Microsoft updates that are overlooked or don’t install correctly, as well as handling all the important third party updates.
