I check all the forum replies as to which one to download. Choose the recommended and try to install. I then get "Error25099. Unzipping core files failed". I check back to java.com and carry out all their suggestions for the workaround to resolve this but I am still getting the Error 25099. So now I am completely unable to install the latest Java download. I'm using Windows XP with all updates installed. Any help will be appreciated. Eric Pugh

If U have not got the latest version of JAVA (Version 6 Update 15) download it from here: http://www.filehippo.com/download_java_runtime/ Once the update is complete go to Control Panel>JAVA icon>Update Tab and 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. Now remove all the old dross from previous versions. The tool will remove all old versions, any useless files from previous installs except for the version U have just installed http://raproducts.org/ *This link takes U to the site - select the Windows Binary (zip) option. *This will lead U to Sourceforge.net to download it. *Save the download to desktop. *Activate the desktop zip icon which exposes the JAVARA EXE file. Click it *Select RUN when asked. *Select your language. *The tool will now appear on the desktop - select REMOVE OLDER VERSIONS *Once complete select ADDITIONAL TASKS - tick all boxes & activate. * Right click on the desktop JAVARA zip file & delete it.

Especially "Trusted", "Low restricted", "High restricted", "Untrusted" settings etc. It is very comprehensive and perhaps a little too complicated for some people. I had the 2009 version before but this is entirely different. Frankly I'm still finding my way around it after over a week. Once again many thanks Eric

A fairly recent ( & in my view) useless addition by JAVA. Like me U can switch it off - details here: http://www.java.com/en/download/help/quickstarter.... U appear to be a dab hand with PC's - now U have cleared the dross with JAVARA I would recommend all future JAVA updates are done via the Control Panel icon. The next release will auto uninstall Version 6 Update 15 & U are guaranteed getting the correct new version. U can also switch off the auto updater (JUSCHED) which in the past has been troublesome & uses the start menu.

FileHippo Cleansoft TechTracker Beta They all have limitations & one of those with Cleansoft is constantly changing the file number. To date they have given me 4 false positives on my professional programmes. By comparison (to date) FileHippo is the most reliable if U use this type of programme. I must add my little test is far from over - I normally run them for 3 or more months & TechTracker (Cnet) is a newbie. EDIT: As I suspected Cleansoft is giving a False positive if this update is showing on Vista or XP PC's.

They have a record of pre/early advising the "latest" versions of both Java & Flash in my experience (correctly for Flash on one occassion). Yesterday , they showed both the latest & my version of Firefox as v3.5.1 ; I sent them an Email last night (right click menu on the programme listing) & today v3.5.2 is showing. They sometimes fail to read your installed version correctly when it is an "internal" programme update **, updating the "installer" sometimes helps if you download it from their site ! Flie Hippo currently shows me as having Firefox v3.5 RC3 which predates 3.5/3.5.1/3.5.2 - haven't worked that out as yet . take care Anthony PS: I believe Kaspersky 2010 has an easy learn (default??) setting to minimise the "pop ups" & user inputs . I am "told" that it is one of the easiest paid Suites to set up ; you can complicate it later if you wish . **PPS: shades of Adobe & Secunia. -- It always seems impossible until its done.

UDN & UDC tell you if an update is available in a "correponding" software programme & that's it . What you do with the info is entirely up to you . For example , Java u16 is the latest version available - I checked further at the Java website & got much the same info as bjm ; I did not "dig" further but did not see anyting to say that u16 would not work on XP . Had I decided to add it I would have checked further. This is how Clean Softs describe themselves :- quote"Welcome to the Clean Softs Professional Association (CSPA). CSPA is a non-profit association that tries to introduce a new standard for verifying softs against viruses, spyware & trojans.
