Java Virtual Machine

Anyone had experience with Microsofts Java Machine removal tool?Im using Sun Java and dont need it.

 

'Don't need it' maybe but it doesn't take much room and if it ain't busted, why chance trying to fix it?

 

All I needed to hear.Thank you

 

I have both and since they are playing nice together, I haven't had the nerve to try removing the JVM.

 

I thought the same way as Newt did UNTIL I caught a version of the ultra-nasty "CoolWebSearch" trojan. The latest variants (over two dozen, now) with about one new version showing up every week are exceptionally difficult to remove even with the latest spyware/AV software. According to Merijn.org, this nasty exploits the old MS VM (MS_Java) in a couple of ways. Although MS has issued patches, and I keep my Win2K updated, I still got a such bad case that I resolved it only by reimaging from a ghost backup. Merijn kinda suggests "removing the MS Java VM completely and replacing it with the newer, safer Sun Java VM."

I did and have not missed a beat. For VM removal and Sun Java install ->

Thanks for that info. I may just remove my JVM now.
