Patching Your Computer
Software Patches are regularly created and disseminated by software vendors in order to help protect your operating systems and software keeping them potentially free of security risks. It is especially important to keep your operating system up to date. For personal computers (use Internet Explorer) and visit update.microsoft.com. Microsoft patches can also be automated by right clicking "My Computer" on your desktop, choosing "Properties" and clicking on the "Automatic Updates" tab. Select the option "Automatic (recommended)".If you are a UT Arlington faculty, staff or student needing help implementing AntiVirus Software or Patches to your computer contact the UT Arlington Helpdesk by email helpdesk@uta.edu or by phone 817.272.2208 for more information.
