Hi all, I am in a dilemma...:confused:
Apparently to access a web, i will need have Java installed. From what I read on the web, it seems that there is always security problems with that program. It's why I've never installed, but now I have to use it.

So, what would be your recommendations to avoid any inconvenience related to Java ?

One that I have in mind is to activate when I enter this page, and then disable it when is longer needed.

Java has been pretty good about patching its program. Depending on how often you access this particular website you could always uninstall Java after visiting the site and then reinstall on an "as needed" basis. If this is a website you'll be using on a daily basis then I'd leave Java installed and check the Java website frequently for updates and/or patches.

Two other free websites that might help you find updates/patches are Secunia PSI and Patch My PC.

Could you tell us what website requires Java?

Callender exactly my point. It's seldom needed.

That is exactly why I warned abort a possible hoax. One ticks on the Java to install it and who knows what one will get.

If for what ever reason I needed Java I would only get from Java and no where else.

Hi,
Instead of installing java why not use Chrome which already has it installed
Then you can just use Chrome when you go to this site,

Oracle is a on a quarterly update cycle so that's 3 months with usually no fixes.
Making it the most vulnerable add-ons to have installed.

Hi,
It's still a browser add-on listed same as the others,
Gear symbol on the top right and click on Manage add-ons,
Some add-ons do not show up unless you switch to Show all add-ons on the bottom left column,
I believe the correct name is Deployment toolkit,
You might even review the Run without permissions listing too ;)

Ok.
After install and finish to use it, I will check to those two places to disable it(Show all add-ons and Run without permissions). :)

You sure it can only be accessed with IE? It says here that firefox, safari, and chrome can also be used unless I'm reading it wrong? I didn't use any features, but I got on and moved around pretty well with FF37.0.1.

I've stopped using java back in the version5's, I see now it's up to v8 after this month:
