|  | | Reboot for a Safer Computer
Many parts of your operating system and other software installed on your
computer "phone home" for updates when your start your computer. These
updates may be installed to the program file on the disk at the time of
the download, but may not be installed to whatever part of the
program is loaded in memory. In order for that to happen, your computer must be rebooted. Other updates are cached when
downloaded and are installed at shutdown or at the next time your computer starts up. Your computer will still be susceptible to the issue
that required the update until the computer is restarted. Thus, it is
important to restart your computer on a regular basis. At least once per
week is recommended.
