Although I have not had Java on my systems for the past 6 Months I started this thread to inform those that use it to be sure and get it updated. Now if I could just do without Flash I would have a safer system.

Finally the developers of Java get it: Alert: Java’s Forward-Compatibility Promise Has Been Revised - Microsoft's USGCB Tech Blog - Site Home - TechNet Blogs

Should you continue to use older versions of Java, or even have them installed on your systems? Probably not – the risk is obviously high. Oracle (which acquired Sun Microsystems and Java) specifically recommends that you do not. Says Oracle:
We highly recommend users remove all older versions of Java from your system. Three years later, with JRE SE 6u11, the update mechanism for Java was finally changed to remove the previous install. However, it did not remove installations prior to update 10. |

I only have Java on my laptop because from time to time I use an app called Your Freedom which runs in Java. Practically never use it in Firefox, though.
