Keeping your Mac up-to-date

Since the recent news of a Mac malware that was brought to light, a few friends have asked me - how do I know if my Mac is secure and if it is up-to-date? Well this post will explain how to keep your Mac up-to-date, and ensure you have the latest patches and software updates.

If there is a software update for your computer, you'll be able to install the updates by clicking install, and if you have the latest software, you'll get a box saying your system is up-to-date, such as below:
That's it. Easy done!
