[QUOTE="roger_m, post: 830797, member: 31436"] For antiviruses and browsers, I feel that it is important to keep them updated, for security reasons. For example, the latest version of a browser may fix vulnerabilities. New versions of security software can include bug fixes and may offer better protection against malware. For other software, it's generally not so important to keep it updated, unless there are critical issues which are fixed. While new versions of software can add new features and improvements, sometimes they will introduce bugs. Also, if the software isn't free, you may have to pay to upgrade to the latest version.
