Browser updates
Stay safe with the latest software
A browser is simply the software - such as Internet Explorer, Firefox or Safari - that you use to access the internet.
Browsers are now more secure than ever before, and a big improvement on the versions that were available even 12 months ago.
And, as criminals often seek to exploit security gaps in older browsers, it pays to make sure you have the latest versions.
How to stay up-to-date
The good news is that browsers are usually free. And if you have configured Windows or Mac OS X to automatically download the latest updates, the chances are you're already up-to-date.
However, you can always get the latest browsers directly from the companies that made them.
