Java update

[tonychat]

Guys, if you are prompted a Java update by your favorite browser.

Just install the latest plug-in Java and pls Delete away your previous version of Java from your control panel so that the browser can detect the latest version of Java being installed.

Or else, the dumb browser will still link itself to the older version of Java even the new one is being installed.

Unless it is absolutely necessary to run Java in web browsers, disable it as described below, even after updating to 7u11. This will help mitigate other Java vulnerabilities that may be discovered in the future.
