This viewpoint might spark some controversy, but unless you are using
applications which require the Java Runtime Environment, you are better
off not having Java installed on your computer at all. This would
minimize your exposure to potential flaws and subsequent exploits in the
JRE. I have been running my systems without the JRE for about two years
now, with no issues. If you try to use an app which requires the JRE, it
will tell you and you can choose to install it at that time.
I have also taken this approach with all of my clients computers and
have
had no negative feedback, yet.
I did not come up with this approach by myself. I got it from Steve
Gibson via the Security Now podcast. It made sense to me, so I have
embraced it and now endorse it.

Hi all,
I just got a notice that there was a new Java update to install. I went
ahead and installed it and then the screen asked me if I just wanted to
have Java updates installed automatically.
My question is should I go ahead and allow this, or should I be leery
of
some Java updates?
Thanks,
Ken Hopkins
