Java (Pop Up)

[Tilly2]

I keep getting a pop up from the bottom tray telling me to update Java.

I am using Chrome and Windows 7. Do I need to update java? What is java?

Thank you, fender but that link doesn't seem to work,.

I had a popup earlier from here that told me to update firefox - it mentioned that java needed updating - it was to do with something ..cloud302 which i looked up and says it is a popup virus

Java.com and when there click on 'download'?

[Tilly2]

So, shall I update it or not? Is it a virus?

java is not a virus - if you are using Firefox then got to Add-ons in the Tools menu, select Plugins from the list on the lhs and click on the link at the top - hightlighted in green here http://i1347.photobucket.com/albums/p701/bibblebub/Scr2014-01-1118h40m15s_zps432b6007.jpg

Unless an application specifically needs it, I would uninstall java. It's your choice so search on the net about it and the potential security issues.

I am using Google Chrome as my browser.

Perfectly normal Tilly. Windows is constantly looking for newer versions to update, to keep the system running properly.

Thank you, Mr. B. That's what I wanted to know.
