I will check for the differences at Ask-Leo as you suggested because I never knew that 'anything that can be done WITH Java can also be done WITHOUT it'! That's great! I'll have to educate myself on the alternatives to using Java. I get a few computer newsletters but never saw any article suggesting or educating readers about this. Thanks again--your info was a helpful eye opener. I like to stay as safe as possible online and am glad you responded to my messages. Thanks for your help.

I repeat: You do not need Java. Anything that can be done with it can also be done without it. Apples & oranges = Java & JavaScript; read up on the difference (may try the good offices of Ask-Leo).

I use NoScript, which does block java when I initially land on a new webpage. There are times I can read the text, which is all I wanted to do anyway--so that is OK; but then there are times that I can't get the information on a webpage without allowing NoScript to OK java. On some unfamiliar sites--I'll just leave. But some are websites of well-known companies, stores, etc. that show a message that I need java to access the page, so I'll OK it with NoScript. Do you feel this is still a danger I shouldn't allow? But if you remove java from your computer, don’t you also lose functionality on many webpages?

Since then I have found that I really don't need it. Eventually Larry Ellison will figure out that if he is going to abuse people that people will figure out in return that they really don't need his products.
