Windows Users Need Many Patches

According to new data gathered by IT company Secunia, users of IT services such as Windows, need to patch their systems every five days in order to stay ahead of IT security vulnerabilities. The interesting thing is that Secunia is currently using IT Support in order to develop an IT product that will help Windows users be up to date with day to day vulnerabilities. This product is in fact an all-in-one patching tool.

Thomas Kristensen, chief security officer at Secunia, said that "The core of this patching issue is that the software industry has, so far, failed to come up with a unified patching solution that can help home users on a large scale; that is, encompassing all software programs. We will offer different configurations which can range from 'a click on every program approve patching' to 'install automatically' and don't tell me." So, the company is just looking to avoid any manual updates in order to make users feel secure easier.
