Update your Java

[Dangerousdave26]

Some of you may remember a while ago (maybe a year?) I posted a bit on how viruses were using Java to hide in a PC.

I was at that time provided instructions from a friend on how to disable Java's temporary internet files which was where these bastages were hiding.

Well here we go again.

Thanks Dave for the excellent reminder . "Bastages" I like this word too . I am going to add it to my daily conversations when all of us "old geezers" go out for breakfast now and then and bitch about politics , politicians , economy and yes , women on occasion .:icon_lol: At soon to be 65 , my wife quit worrying about me years ago .:rolleyes:

It only gets one more shot at me. I've had to recover from "Java Exploits" twice in the last year.:mad: "Bastages"(Superior term!)
Both times Java got the axe during the clean-up...but...I reinstalled it shortly afterwards out of necessity.

If it wasn't for my love of AICarriers and AIBT, it wouldn't be welcome on my rig at all...Don I've got a Google Nexus 7 - Android 4.1 doesn't support Java at all and won't download it....which is a bit of a bugger because one of my web genealogy sites runs java for it's display. oh well.....:isadizzy:
