These are listed as insecure, but I can't quite understand how to patch. The Java link goes to a page with multiple downloads. I don't need a development kit, so the JDK versions don't seem appropriate. Tried downloads but found that only a new program was installed, which is on the uninstall list (1.6x/ 6.x), and also quick start 1.0 in Firefox was installed. Can't even pose the questions properly. Java Web Start 5.x C:\i386\javaws.exe C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_06\bin\javaws.exe Sun Java JRE 1.5.x / 5.x C:\i386\java.exe C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_06\bin\java.exe Should I just delete these files in these locations? I don't know which applications use these files, or what replaces these files, so I can't assess if deletion is ok. Do I need these files if I am not a developer? Guidance would be appreciated. XP Professional, SP 3 Thanks |

Follow Maurice Joyce's instructions in this thread to clean up your Java :- http://secunia.com/community/forum/thread/show/275... The two Java files in C:\i386 and can be safely deleted . They do not actually pose a security threat , but PSI will detect them , unless for some reason you wish to keep them , in which case you could set an "ignore rule" in PSI. The other two files are for general use by programmes ; they could be a threat & so should be deleted/updated as per MJ's instructions. -- It always seems impossible until its done. Nelson Mandela |
