timster Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Is it too much to ask the consumer to keep their computers updated to avoid getting viruses? That's the easiest question of all. YES. Warwagon knows... if everyone kept their computers updated and virus-free .. i'd be out of a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azies Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I use Java 7, and if I'm using 6 on another machine, it updates when I do my weekly maintenance, if there is a new update I make a trip to my computers and update them ALL. Only one machine is running XP, that machine does NOT have Java on it. I use mine mainly for Minecraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason S. Global Moderator Posted March 5, 2012 Global Moderator Share Posted March 5, 2012 Strange, I have installed JAVA on every machine I owned regardless of whether I needed it or not and have never been infected because of it. same. never had a single issue on the many, many computers on which it's been installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Warwagon MVC Posted March 5, 2012 Author MVC Share Posted March 5, 2012 same. never had a single issue on the many, many computers on which it's been installed Then you must be a good little boy and are keeping it updated. I don't get it. What's ketchup?? Why do you have to bend over?? It means your computer is going to get raped up ass (think of it like a bar of soap in prison) and bleed the same color as ketchup.

Azusa Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Well to help kick a habit I've uninstalled Java! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redvamp128 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Personally If I didn't need it for Blackboard the online school I am attending I would not have it installed. I do keep it up to date though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iKenndac Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 No you dont. There are 1000s of alternative object orientated languages. Based on this amazing outlook, I went into work today and demanded I don't use Java anymore because some guys on the internet hate it. Unfortunately, they weren't so keen on rewriting the millions of lines of code that have been written over the past few years. Now I don't have a job. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfirth Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I only have Java installed because of Eclipse + Android development. It's not pleasant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Growled Member Posted July 12, 2012 Member Share Posted July 12, 2012 I haven't use java in years. What in the world do people even use it for now-a-days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperKid Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I have it installed but i disable the java applet on Firefox and plus i use a Mac and Apple make updating Java impossible to miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Warwagon MVC Posted May 13, 2013 Author MVC Share Posted May 13, 2013 Apparently the newest version of Java Will now prompt a user before it runs ANY java applet. That being said, every average user I know would not think twice about clicking the run button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
