java?

[lorie]

I hope this is an easy question and it gets an easy
answer.
Do I need (sun-java) on my computer? It seems to have
programs on it that I don't need or want, like...notepad,
Draw, Swing and Military games.
Just what is the purpose of Java? The program I
downloaded was 103 mgs. That's alot if it's an
unnessesary program.
If it is nessesary...
Is there a java somewhere that doesn't have all the other
stuff I don't want?
Any info would be helpful.
Thanks, lorie

This is a direct link to the only Java that you need for
basic browsing support. Once on this page simply click the
get it now button at the top right and there you go. Java
is essential and you can use either Suns Java VM(virtual
machine) or Microsofts VM which can be found
here.http://www.virtualmachine.tk/

Keep smiling.

I answered this when you posted it last time. Java is an
essential tool for the internet. You don't need all the
game stuff just the Java. Once again; this is the link for
Java http://www.java.com/en/index.jsp Just click the get
it now button at the top right. For Microsofts VM go
here.http://www.virtualmachine.tk/ Once you get the
Microsoft virtual machine visit the update site to get the
update for it. This is one way around the court decision
that Sun won against MS. Keep smiling.

Lot of websites use java script. Thing is java script can easily be used
for mischievious things that may affect your computer. And there's so many
ways of writing such script, there's no way to specifically identify some
lines of script as good or bad.
NAV provides an option to disable script as part of its options. Script is
disabled by default. This is targeted as java scripting.
