I read that as Java 7 and browser add-ons, so to be safe I disabled my Java 6.

I read about this but.... I really didn't get what's actually going on. I had a kid disable it on my computer until.... I found out I couldn't watch YouTubes anymore which.... bugged me. I've got replica so I went and backed up my whole computer then enabled the Java again. I figure if I go down.... I won't be down for much more than a few hours... I could get my husband to zero out my computer then I could reload everything just as it was over night if I wanted because all you have to do with that replica is literally plug it in.... there's like nothing you have to do.... it starts running on its own the minute its plugged in and when it's done... it shuts down the computer so the next time you turn it on.... it's like nothing happened. Java's gonna come out with a fix sooner or later so why completely uninstall it>>>? Is there something else we can use to watch YouTubes with? I don't like software being the only "ballgame" in town so I'd try something new.

Java is always a security issue, but 6 is not the current problem.
Lib, I'm afraid by reinstalling java you will get the 7. |

I've already got 7. What I meant was if I went down with whatever the virus du jour is.... I could wipe the whole computer entirely and just plug in my replica and that would be that. Replica copies your whole computer.... just as it was the last time you ran it. I can run it all the time if I want but... my computer is too old for that and it's slow enough already. Ya... I heard Java was a lot like Microsoft and was targeted by every hacker out there. It'd be nice if there was another software program out there I could install that would let me watch YouTubes. For now.... I'm ok. The whole computer was fully backed up over the weekend. I'll back it all up again next time I take photos. It's my photos I care about.

I have disabled all java/Oracle on my computer. I can still watch You Tube, I don't see what Java was doing anyway.

Thanks, Cirsium! Java has applets I think. The iPad doesn't use them and I have trouble with some shopping sites on the iPad.

Cirsium> Ohhhhh.... thank you thank you thank you. I didn't know they were different. I disabled the "right" java and I'm finding out doing that doesn't mess with anything that I can see so far. I think I'll have somebody uninstall that java if I can't find where I'd ever need it.
