[QUOTE="Littlebits, post: 166375, member: 146"] Too many users confuse Java Runtime Environment with Java browser plugin. The program language itself is usually not exploited, so you can run your install programs that require JRE without worries. What you need to worry about is the Java browser plugins, they are exploited all the time and they are directly tied to JRE. Once your Java browser plugin is exploited it then can use JRE to do a lot of nasty things to your system. I use JRE to run several programs on my system but I have the browser plugins disabled therefore they can not be exploited. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/EPld7p1.png[/IMG] Enjoy!! :D [/QUOTE]
