You use a web browser to look at websites. It's the doorway to the internet. Examples include Microsoft Internet Explorer*, Google Chrome*, Apple Safari* or the software that is showing you this page now is your current web browser.
Just like any other software, it makes sense to use the latest, most secure web browser. The latest browsers have security features that block fake websites and protect against some viruses (but you still need anti-virus for advanced protection). If you have updated your computer regularly or bought it in the last couple of years, it is likely that you are already using an up-to-date browser. You can check by selecting 'About' on the browser menu. If this is not the case, you may want to get new browser software immediately and update it regularly for maximum protection.
