After replying to the post titled "what applications to install" by "the
guy upstairs", I may be close to reversing my refusal to install Java
runtime on my system. My major objection to installing it has always
been the additional security weaknesses via your browsers that are
introduced by installing it.
However, you can disable Java in Internet Explorer:
1. Tools/Internet Options/Security tab/Internet icon and "Custom Level"
button/scroll down to "Microsoft VM"/Disable Java AND down to "Scripting
of Java Applets/Disable
and do the same for "Trusted sites" and "Restricted sites" (latter
should already have it disabled). However, I don't know if doing this
would disable SM Java should you be using it instead of MS VM.
This whole area is a ball of confusion for me and always has been. Can
anybody clarify whether or not you can block SM JR in IE?
TIA
