those are among the leftovers which JavaRA removes automatically, if I’m not mistaken.

The deployjava1.dll & npdeployjava1.dll files can show up in more places than you mentioned, so it is best to use a search program, like the excellent, and free, Everything, to find where they all are. I found them in three places on my main drive.

I never tried JavaRA.

It’s easy to keep many programs & utilities up to date using the process at ninite.com

It’s actually fairly common. Nine times out of ten, there’s no need for concern, but man that one time out of ten can curl your toes.

My advice: stay away from teh site until it comes through clean.

Probably not. If a program requires Java, it’ll tell you.

I have software on my system that came from Logitec, 6 years ago. It supports their Harmony Universal TV remote. They have old Java .dll’s bundled in with their software, which is no doubt written in Java. Do these .dll’s represent a security threat, or are we only concerned with the jre’s used by browsers and such?

Thanks for all you do.

@Vern –

The big problem right now is Java running inside browsers. But Java itself, running standalone on a PC, has plenty of problems, too. Best bet is to get rid of Java entirely, but if you can’t, definitely disable it in your browsers.

Ah, it seems Logitec has solved my problem for me. I’m upgrading my XP system to Win 8, and when I downloaded the updated TV remote software, I discovered it’s now Java-free. Seems The Word has been spreading for some time now.

Before retirement I was, among other things, a Java developer since its inception in 1995. The technology has had more than its share of security issues over the years.

Keep up the great work.
