Title: Look our for your Java
Post by: jscott2 on January 12, 2013, 05:50:33 pm
Not the drinking kind!  Ran across this http://www.nbcnews.com/technology/technolog/us-warns-java-software-security-concerns-escalate-1B7938755 (http://www.nbcnews.com/technology/technolog/us-warns-java-software-security-concerns-escalate-1B7938755)  Further searching confused me even more so I decided to disable Java in the browser and to remove it from my PC, although there seems to be some indication that the latest version is OK.  The latest version is supposed to have a control panel that lets you disable Java more easily.

This http://java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp (http://java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp) tests whether Java is installed on your computer.

As Phil Esterhaus used to say on Hill Street Blues, "Let's be careful out there."
