Anti virus and firewalls should be updated regularly to ensure proper protection. Hackers develop ways to get around firewalls and also develop new viruses, so updating your security protects you from any new problems that may develop. Updating also helps with bugs that the system may have.

Why is it importance to scan your computer daily?

I assume you are talking about a virus scan. I don't think it is important. You can scan your entire computer ONCE after you install your antivirus; after that, perhaps every few months. Modern antivirus programs will automatically scan individual files when you try to open them; this renders a scan of the entire computer superfluous.You DO have to make sure that 1) your antivirus is still active, including the function described above (to scan every file as you open it), and 2) that it gets updated regularly.
