Without frequent updating, old versions of Java are ripe for attack. A report today from Brian Krebs indicates that many people are not keeping their Java software up to date.
As a result, bugs in the older versions are a very popular way for malicious software to install itself. According to Krebs,. Java vulnerabilities continue to give attackers the most mileage and profit, and have surpassed Adobe flaws as the most successful exploit vehicles. Apparently for people to whom Java is a type of coffee rather than a piece of software, the update process is too difficult. To see which version of Java your web browser is using, you can go to my JavaTester.
Certainly if you don't use it, the Defensive Computing thing is to remove it. But, you can also remove too much software. I got burned recently removing software from a new Windows XP machine.
Then, when I went to try and burn CDs for the first time on the machine, two different burning applications both failed with unknown errors. Turns out they needed the removed software but nothing in Windows indicated this.
Some useful websites depend on Java. The top of my list is Secunia's Online Software Inspector. Then too, there is time. Unfortunately this is not reliable, as the displaying of this icon can be disabled. Websites that use Java probably stored some files there. Choose Internet Options from the drop-down list. Click Close to close the Manage Add-ons dialog. If the problem still appears please go on with the Solution 3. Locate the Java Runtime Environment installations and uninstall all existing Java versions.
Restart your PC. This will run the installation of Java when it is not detected on your system. Internet Explorer 11 is even faster - 0. However, it is still a useless plug-in for most of us, so you should disable it anyway.
You can select both of the SSV Helpers like in the Internet Explorer 11 example above by pressing the Ctrl button while you click on both of them. If you do so, click the Disa b le all button. Otherwise, select one of the SSV Helpers and click on the Disable button at the lower right corner and a pop-up window will appear.
Blame ActiveX Filtering! It's a feature that prevents untrusted code from using older, unpatched versions of Java. Before it came along, a Java app could request an older version of Java to exploit it, if you have several versions of Java installed. Obviously, that's a very big security hole.
SSV prevents that by ensuring that no matter what an untrusted app requests, it will always receive the latest version. This prevents a malicious app from exploiting an old bug or security hole.
