JavaRa

I notice that JavaRa was recommended to someone who was seeking treatment for malware. I wonder what it does?

I have a "Java Control Panel" in my administrator control panel that allows me to "update Java".

Hi Wakefield,

I notice that JavaRa was recommended to someone who was seeking treatment for malware. I wonder what it does?

http://sourceforge.net/projects/javara/

I have a "Java Control Panel" in my administrator control panel that allows me to "update Java".

After a lot of feedback from the security community.

Over time, you may have installed multiple versions of Java to run available Java content. In the past, each Java update was installed in separate directories on your system. However, Java updates are now installed in a single directory.

Oracle (Sun)Microsystems-Java Security vulnerability in older versions left on system

Hope that helps.
