Most likely you aren't running the latest version of Java. (Update 13) Try this first: http://www.java.com/getjava/ Download and install the latest Java, and that should clear up the warnings. If not, let us know and someone will assist. Best Wishes, Kurosh |

Hello, my secunia is troubling me with the same issue and I've updated to the current version (Java 6 update 14) and it's still appearing like a issue. The problem is in this folder: C:\Arquivos de programas\Arquivos comuns\i4j_jres\jre1\bin\java.exe I'm using Firefox 3.5, Google Chrome 2.x and IE 8.0 and the plugin java sun JRE is highlighted insecure too. at last, I've tried the JavaRA to remove olders java installations and no results. What I can do to solution this problem and secure my pc? |

What I would do is to uninstall and remove all Java programs on my PC. When the PSI can no longer find any traces of Java, I would trust them to be gone. Then I would install Java again from www.java.com. That should work. :-) |

1. MSXML 4 is a standalone version that supports legacy 3rd party installs. 2. Microsoft have released the final SP prior to it becoming obsolete on 13 April 2010. Your problem should be resolved if you uninstall all versions of MSXML 4 SP2 - reboot - and then install MSXML 4 SP3 which is a complete replacement for SP2 & the various hot fixes. As for any new install read the Release Notes here: http://download.microsoft.com/download/A/2/D/A2D85... The download link is here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?Fa...

Hi, Like other users on this thread, I have tried patching Sun Java JRE 1.6x./6x several times. I have even been to the Java site and had my version of Java tested and the report says it's working but Secunia still shows two instances of unsafe Sun Java JRE 1.6x./6x. This is scary and very frustrating and I'm not sure what else to do. I'm running Windows XP and the latest version of Firefox. I'm wondering if someone can help me fix this problem...?

To everybody struggling to get rid of their old, outdated Java versions, I recommend JavaRa (http://raproducts.org/), which will faithfully remove all old versions. First remove the most recent version of Java in Programs and Features/Add-Remove, then run JavaRa, and lastly, install JRE 1.6x./6x -- kenpmason |

Anthony, I'm really not sure, but I prefer my sequence, since it gets rid of all the old versions first, then gets around to the new one. People can try whichever order they think makes the most sense. (Sun created this mess, really they should sort it out! Dream away....) -- kenpmason |

It is correct to normally remove dross first. The key to JavaRA is it leaves the last version installed intact. If that is an insecure one U have gained little. Sun have now sorted out their update procedure which works. Using JavaRA should now be a one off to remove all previous dross. Once that is done & U only have Java 6 Update 16 this procedure will work next time: Future Updates Of JAVA. Once all the old JAVA dross is removed future updating is easy. Go to Start>Control Panel>click on the JAVA icon>select the Update tab>click the Update Now button. Once the update is complete take the tick out of box marked "Check for updates auto ....." (This will prevent a useless file called JUSCHED from being place in your start up menu.

Thanks so much, Maurice. You've clarified the Java mess quite nicely. I didn't know that Sun has finally fixed its update mess, and that JavaRa leaves only the latest version intact. It's nice to see such well-informed advice. I think this should close this thread! -- kenpmason |
