| | Sun Java by far the most vulnerable plug-in Quote: Wondering how secure your browser is? Today at the RSA Conference in San Francisco, Qualys CTO Wolfgang Kandek presented their research which clearly shows that browser security is alarmingly bad. Results show that browsers and plug-ins are frequently outdated and easily attackable. To make things worse, malware authors adapt quickly and most of their new attacks are against browser plug-ins.

| | I decided to uninstall Java today and although I have not used all the programs on my PC, so far no problems. I don't use QuickTime or Adobe Reader and now Java so I have eliminated the top three threats. Need to see what else I can delete. Jim  |

| | The only Adobe product I use is PhotoShop CS2. Other Adobe things like Flash and Reader were pre-installs by HP, just as Java was. If I remember right, Sun sued Microsoft a while back to get them to remove their (Microsoft's) version of Java from Window's. If Microsoft had won, we'd probably have a secure and regularly updated version of Java and none of these problems. |
