Do you trust all the updates your devices ask you for?

I could have put this under technology, but trust seems more like a larger life issue. I don't know, I disabled auto update on my phone. Like to look them over first.

I have IOS and do the same, or even phone tech support to be certain.

@bijouxbroussard You discuss the updates with a tech before installing?
@DanielChristensen If anything looks wonky I do. There was something called Mac Defender, an app which appeared out of nowhere and claimed to protect Mac products. I didn’t touch it, but called my own AppleCare rep and asked about it—it was malware, and AppleCare showed me how to get rid of it. I posted a question about it here to let other Mac users know if they happened upon it.

@bijouxbroussard I've run across those sorts of insidious things several times. Sucks when you have to go to the repair shop.
