I hate Java Updates

Joe wrote: Seriously VL, in Firefox you can go to tools addons plugins and disable JAVA. It doesn't do much for me and I have it disabled always. You can turn off Java automatic updates somewhere in your settings.

Javascript is needed for alot of web pages to function, including videos and flash.

I'll settle for just stopping the updates...My computer was working just fine, I don't need updates.

You can do this thru control panel, java, update on XP

I must have turned mine off sometime ago, I never get those updates.

Thanks..I'll get to that later tonight.

An easier fix is just go to where the Java files are - probably on your C drive.
In Windows explorer Right click on the "Local Disk (C)" and click 'format'. Follow the instructions and reformat your hard drive. That will return it to a pre-Java state - eliminating all of those pesky Java files..

As long as it was only on his 'labtop', shouldn't present any problems
