Excellent advice!
Hi Hugh Jarss, "Turning off the cache does not turn off the sandbox. If you run SUN Java with the cache disabled, the applets still run in the...
I believe you should delete them. I strongly doubt (without guarantee) any problem from that. At minimum, first open your old java & empty the cache.
I respect your point of view & your decision. Just to further clarify terminolgy a bit, the trojan installer applet file doesn't leave the...

Hi mikewanca, "Can you give a references for why the Java cache should be turned off? ". There were many references on the major PC sites when...
No problem downloading. It's the install script that doesn't work on those 2 Extensions in Netscape (see prior posts in thread).
Hi Clif, MS has announced that it will continue to be free for XP users, however they will eventually drop XP support when it becomes old. I...
That's often a bad assumption (though probably not in this case). An AV or AT finds malware. Generally the person who scans regularly assumes it's...
Hi charlesvar, "...harmless beause the AV eviscerates it... ". I'd never trust an AV to fully remove a trojan no matter how long the trojan...
