    Post Update Java to make system more secure

    Lets update your Java to make your system more secure

    Download the latest version Here 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

    (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?

    Default Installed JRE 15

    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
