More Java Info


There is a security problem with Java, and, while there will be a
fix eventually, there is not one available right now.

The best solution is for you to un-install Java. Here is how:

1. Go to your control Panel. In most versions of Windows, just click
on "Start" and then "Control Panel".

2. In the "Programs" section of the Control Panel, click on
"Uninstall A Program".

3. Find any programs named Java, or Java Update. Click once on the
program, then click the "Uninstall" button in the toolbar.

When you follow these directions, you might not find Java installed
on your computer. I don't have it installed on my computer, which
means in the last two years that I have been using this machine, I
have not needed it.

Keep in mind that there is also a programming language called,
Javascript. This is not the same as Java, and does not have the
security issue that Java is suffering from at the moment.
