Java update Java updater Update Java Java Updater Update JVM New in Java for Mac OS X 2017-001: This package is exclusively intended for support of legacy software and installs the same deprecated version of Java 6 included in the 2015-001, 2014-001, and 2013-005 releases. In its latest Java 8 Update 40 for Mac, Oracle is including a version of Ask.com's Web browser toolbar, a piece of adware seen in Windows versions of Java for some time, reports ZDNet.

Here we go again, there is yet another. For whatever reason, the latest bug seems to have gotten much more publicity than the many equally serious Java flaws the preceded it. Details of the problem are available from many other sources, here, I will put it in context and concentrate on using Java as safely as possible. UPDATE: On Jan. 13, 2013 Oracle released Java 7 Update 11 to fix the latest security flaw. Java 6 was not updated as the latest problem was limited to Java 7. Windows, OS X and Linux users can get the latest edition of Java 7 at To begin in the beginning, Java is available on Windows, OS X and Linux.

The latest flaw has been. Java is not available at all on iOS (iPhone, iPad) and although it plays a big part in Android, the current issue is with Java from Oracle which does not run on Android. The safest operating system,, is Google's which also does not support Java.

[ For more, see ] Java and Javascript are totally different. Nothing said here about Java applies to Javascript. The current Java flaw boils down to this: view a web page, get infected with a virus.

On Windows, it may be worse than that. That 'applications that use the Internet Explorer web content rendering components, such as Microsoft Office or Windows Desktop Search, may also be used as an attack vector for this vulnerability'. The of Microsoft's website has nothing about the latest Java flaw. I tried to contact Microsoft about this. If I hear back, I'll update this topic.

This points up an interesting point that's often overlooked - Java is used both online and offline. Much of this article, and what you'll find elsewhere online, focuses on disabling Java in web browsers, the online half of the equation.

There is, as far as I know, no way to restrict the offline use of Java, that is, Java used by installed applications. Offline use is either all-on or all-off and the only way to get to all-off is to uninstall Java. [ ] IS JAVA INSTALLED? Windows users can easily see if Java is installed in the Control Panel.

In XP look in Add or Remove Programs, on Windows 7 look in Programs and Features. On both systems look for an entry starting with Java 6 or Java 7. Most Windows systems with Java installed will also have a Java entry in the Control Panel, but this is buggy and not reliable. OS X Snow Leopard (10.6) shipped with Java 6 pre-installed and Java 7 is not available.

To verify that Java is installed, go to Applications -> Utilities and run the Java Preferences program. OS X Lion (10.7) and Mountain Lion (10.8) shipped without Java. These systems can have either Java 6, Java 7 or both installed.

To detect Java 6, use the procuedure just described for Snow Leopard. You can also enter 'java -version' at a Terminal prompt.

To see if Java 7 is installed, check the Other category in System Preferences. If there is a Java icon there, then Java 7 is installed. From a Defensive Computing perspective, un-installing Java is the safest approach. This may, however, break something, there is no easy to way to know without doing it. A partial list of software that depends on Java is available on the home page of my site. If you find that an application (such as Crashplan Pro on OS X or Wuala on Windows) or website (Scottrade.com, time.gov) needs Java, only you can weigh the benefit of that service vs. At the moment though, Java is very risky.
