Oracle has released the Java fix

SAS - go to www.java.com and click on "Do I Have Java?" It will check your computer and if you need a download will take you to that link.

Windows Updates are essential. If you have Microsoft Office, add Microsoft Update. Open Windows Update from Programs in your Start Menu or from your control panel (this applies to Windows XP; Vista and 7 have a little 'get updates for other products' or similar in the main Windows Update window when it opens. That allows you to add the Office updates). You'll see a 'Get Microsoft Update now' type of message - just do what it says (and no one gets hurt! )

Thank you for that information. Will do.

After a warning yesterday I uninstalled Java on my laptop and disabled it in my browser. So far any adverse effects of this action hasn't occurred and so I think I will wait for if/when there is to reinstall.

I did that and while it was checking, I get a message top left: Java has been deactivated for your protection. GREAT!

Thank you, Candace!
