Dear Campus Community,

One of the best and easiest precautions to keep your computer safe is making sure your web browser is up to date. Companies frequently release updates for their browsers to address potential vulnerabilities and protect users from malicious online attacks.

We have created a step-by-step guide for updating the most popular browsers. Visit that page and select your preferred application to see detailed instructions. Further guidance can be found at the support link provided for each individual browser.

While most browsers are set to update automatically by default, we recommend manually checking for new updates at least once per month to ensure you have the latest version.

As always, remember to check the URLs of links before clicking, be wary ofdownloading files from unfamiliar sources and immediately report any suspicious activity on your device or account. Thank you for being cautious online and helping to secure our community’s digital landscape.

For assistance with this or any technology resources, contact the ITS Service Desk at umtech@memphis.edu or 901.678.8888.

Regards,
Robert Jackson, EdD
Chief Information Officer
