I read an interesting blog about online security from Google. They participated in a study to see how many people were using the latest internet browsers. The results might surprise you. I admit I am a Firefox junkie and upgraded to the latest browser within a week of its release. With the frequency that new/updated browsers, internet filters, anti-virus and anti-spyware are released, it becomes a challenge to update the library computers. We use Deep Freeze to protect the registry, so it becomes a time consuming process to manually update each computer. Though, we do the best we can. This was a nice reminder to update the library computers. I liked the suggestion in the blog for a browser to give a warning statement about the need to update.

We use Deep Freeze too — and the server is set to unlock the PACs and do automatic updates when we are closed. I don’t know if that includes downloading and installing a new browser, probably not. But I wonder if that could be done?
“…the server is set to unlock the PACs and do automatic updates when we are closed”. Ooooo….how do you do that? We use deep Freeze also and have always manually updated our public computers.
