When updating your computer's antivirus software so that the latest security definitions are applied, which source is the BEST place to obtain the update?
Getting the update through the antivirus program's own update feature ensures that files come directly from the vendor's secure servers and are automatically verified. Email links from unknown senders are a common phishing method, files shared on user forums are unvetted, and versions found on third-party app stores may be outdated or malicious.
