Lets update your Java to make your system more secure

Download the latest version Here (http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp) save it, do not install it yet.

Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE)JRE 6 Update 16 <--The wording is confusing but this is what you need

* Go to your Add Remove Programs in the Control Panel and uninstall any previous versions of Java
* Reboot your computer
* Install the latest version

You can verify the installation Here (http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml)
...(I didn't reply before the thread was archived.)
The Java Update mechanism says "Java 6 Update 15 is ready to install." and it provides a button to click to install it. Just to be sure, I should just disregard that and proceed with your above instructions to get u16, right?

Hi,

Sorry about that. But we get so busy on this forum that if a thread is replied to and we get no response in 4 days than its archived.

Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE)JRE 6 Update 15 <--This will be fine, the next update should get you Update 16

Ok, I installed update 15. Three or four security warnings popped up during the install warning me that BHO's were being installed. I clicked to allow them. Is that ok?
Thanks,
Steve

Yes, that was fine :bigthumb:


How are things running now ?
