Now I won't be able to sleep tonight. I think I'll go have a cup of "Java" to calm me down.

RUSTY You bet: Not only that..if your laptop has a camera on top ....THEY can watch you from there...spooky isn't it. Clancy is usually pretty close to REAL.

Sleep Tight Rusty..

The actual warning in fine print says that the big threat is for JAVA 7 aka 1.7. If you have a lesser version you can still use it.

When I have to trouble shoot a computer remotely, I use a program called Teamviewer 7.
It allows me to take over someones computer and get into anything that is on it. Sometimes I have to get a password or permission from them to access a certain systems file but for the most part I can control their computer as if it was mine.
Their desktop will show up on my screen and I can access just about everything. As I am using it, the person on the other end will see everything that I do.

That being said, I wonder just how save something like that is while I am hooked up remotely to them.

Teamviewer 7 is free and you can download it from HERE.

Thanks Rusty, and I noted that Oracle recommends that you manually uninstall any prior versions ahead of installing the update. Given the recommendation, I suspect that the update installer does not automatically uninstall prior versions.

I only had "version 7 update 10" in my computer so it looks like Java put "update 11" into the "10" directory. I now only have "update 11".

My security cameras didn't blink or shut down during the installation and they are still working fine.

Thank you again, you have been a lot of help.
