activex control modules Q

[Guest]

in the activex downloads folder i've always had the java runtime environment
1.5.0 module with an icon that is a yellow shield with an exclamation point
in the middle of it? does anybody know if this is the normal java icon, or is
it indicating somethings not right?

Uninstall the "J2SE Runtime Environment 5" since it's no longer secure.
Install the latest version instead.

Yeah, that's funny. We were told to go from V5 rel.6 to rel. 7 because it
'wasn't secure'. Then to rel. 8, because rel. 7 'wasn't secure', the it was
8, then 9. Now you have to go to V6.

Seems as though many companies share MS' security problems.
