In the Tools menu on your browser you'll find Add-ons and Plug-ins. Within those lists you can simply Disable Java.

I have Windows 7. Access to Add and Remove programs - Start/Control Panel/Programs and Features. I uninstalled everything there where Oracle was the publisher.
(3 items) Opera-- I don't see anything regarding plug-ins. O.K. In the Opera browser, Tools/ Advanced/ Plug-Ins. There is "Java Deployment Toolkit" Disabled. I don't see any way to remove it. Thanks for watching out for us, Cirsium. |

My son is always warning me about java. When I get to the laptop, I'll delete it. I didn't know it had to be dealt with in every browser! I thought just disabling it in the operating system, Win7 would be enough.

It may be that the reason Java was disabled in the browser was because i uninstalled it from the control panel? (Win. 7/Opera)

My Java is 6. The reports said issue 7 was the problem and using 6 was okay.
