Hackers constantly research security weak points in Microsoft Windows-based computers. To prevent hackers from exploiting these weak points, Microsoft regularly releases security and software updates that fix security issues.

We recognize the importance of these updates, and recommend that computers are kept up-to-date to be protected from the latest threats. VIPRE enables you to manage Windows Update directly from the Auto Patch screen. It can automatically detect your Windows Update status and notify you when new updates are available for your computer.
