pie-eater 207 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 My computer often tells me this. But I have no idea what it's faffing on about and if I should or not? I tried it once and I didn't end up with a coffee delivered. So I jolly well don't know what it does. Should I dare? Or should I not? Link to post Share on other sites

snowdude 44 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 JAVA is an old platform that some websites still use and that is required to view some media. The problem with Java it is open source so it is not safe and can easily be used as a backdoor to drop spyware and shit like that onto your computer. If ever I get asked to update my Java then I just leave that site. Respectable sites dont use Java anymore. Link to post Share on other sites
