    Totally uninstall FireFox before updating. Be aware of FF extensions and add-ons
    Don't install Google ANY Google extensions!!

    These instructions may help you in the future.

    It's been a year since I've successfully updated Java. I always get this error after its succeeding updates. Btw, thank you so much for helping me out :)

    Were you able to install Java Update 17 ?

    Better question, do you need Java?

    Good question x BlueRobot.

    One needs to determine whether it is really necessary to run Java in web browsers, etc...

    Java has a strong reputation for having vulnerabilities.

    Thanks, and many programs and webpages don't even require Java anymore either.

    No, I wasn't able to install it. Java's successful update on my machine happened a year ago, after that, I cannot update it anymore; I always get the same error.

    Let's see if this works...

    Please go to this page: Java SE Downloads
    Tick: Accept Licence Agreement
    Now, download the last entry: Windows x64 41.49 MB jre-7u17-windows-x64.tar.gz
    Save to the Desktop

    Uninstall any version of Java from Programs and Features in Control Panel.
    Restart your computer

    Temporarily disable avast!:
    Right- click on the avast! icon on the system tray.
    Select: avast! shields control
    The options allow you to disable avast for 10 minutes, 1 hour, until the computer is restarted or permanently.
    Select: 10 minutes

    Install Java from the file on your Desktop.
    Restart the computer.

    Enable avast!

    Did you get the same error?
