g<< Return to the Tutorials Menu Page VERY IMPORTANT: Keep Your Computer Up-to-Date and Secure Players, browsers, plug-ins and your operating system work together to deliver materials on the web. Unfortunately, security breaches often exploit weaknesses in these systems and cause your computer to be vulnerable to harm. Check that you have the most recent versions to limit your exposure. And, of course, always use virus protection. ** CHECK TODAY ** Java Updates: Java is currently the highest priority plug-in to check in early 2013. This is due to new potential risks associated with earlier versions of Java. Please visit Verify Java Version to check whether your Java is up-to-date or to download the latest version of Java. If it’s out-of-date please update it right away. What about removing Java completely . . . just to be safe? If you’d like to remove any and all Java versions from your computer, and you find out later that you need Java, you can just reinstall it quickly from http://www.java.com/. It’s up to you. However, just installing the most recent version of Java should be all that is required at this time. Not optional: Uninstalling old versions of Java: You need to also check for, and delete, any old versions of Java that may still be residing on your computer.

If so, please check the following resources: > Remove Old Versions of Java (Windows) > How Do I Disable Java In My Web Browser? > Java Help Center I’ve just started to see this popup box, should I be concerned? No, that’s fine! With increased browser security and new versions of plug-ins you may now, or in the near future, be prompted to click “Run” everytime your class material requires using a plug-in.
