Maintaining your Joomla site at a current status is most important. All software, irrespective of what it is or where it's from has bugs. Most of these are to do with security. Security is a "reactive" situation generally. Someone finds a way to exploit software and the engineers plug the hole. The hackers find another way in and the engineers react again. This is the case with all software, not just isolated versions of particular software. That's why it is so important to keep your Joomla installation up to date.

Joomla has just issued a further release to the software and upgrading your installation is highly recommended. The current version is 1.5.17. If you aren't sure how to do upgrades, you can contact Bushsong and we can do the upgrades for you either on a one off basis or as they come through.

Whilst it is important to keep your Joomla installation up to date, the same thing applies with the extensions that are installed to your system. These should be checked regularly to make sure you are running the latest version.
