Windows Security update fixes Zero Day used to install Ransomware

The Zero Day fix is a great example how Security updates prevent malware from installing

Of course common sense (when you're browsing) and keeping your OS and browsers updated will really help to protect you.

But it's still best to use a good AV system (like Kaspersky) just in case, because Windows Defender just isn't good enough and still doesn't protect you (as you'd hope) against many forms of Ransomware like a decent AV system will.

Relying on Windows Defender to protect you is a bit like travelling abroad without travel/medical insurance: 99% of the time you'll be fine, but that 1% of the time when you really need the added protection, your PC and data are at massive risk if you don't have a decent 3rd party AV.

Thanks Gil. I no longer use VLC but always download software direct from the developer. So far so good.🤞😁
