Lesson 1: Importance of Regular Software Updates
Your computer and phone are always getting smarter, and so are the people trying to trick you! This section is about the easiest and best way to keep your devices safe: updates.
We’ll explain why updates are so vital. Think of every update as quickly closing a security gap—a tiny hole that hackers might try to sneak through. When you update, you seal that hole right up!
Keep your shield strong—it only takes a moment!
Lesson 2: Using Antivirus and Anti-Malware Tools
Your computer needs a good bodyguard, and that’s exactly what security software is!

We will also explain the secret power of scanning frequency—that is, how often your software checks for threats. You’ll learn what a scan actually does and why regular, automatic scans are the simple way to keep your device clean and protected against the newest, nastiest threats.
Feel confident! With the right software, you are safe and sound online.
