   I received a popup showing 'JAVAWS--Firewall blocks this application. Do you want to continue blocking this?'
   I did a search and found JAVAWS in my JAVA folder and also a folder named JAVAWS.
   Should I be concerned about the block? What is so different between JAVA and JAVAWS to block it?
   I am using WindowsXP with IE.
   Thanks

   JAVAWS.exe - the executable for Java Web Start. I doubt you need it, it is harmless and if it is being blocked and you have no problems, continue to allow the blocking.
