I have the following on my Dell laptop:
C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_03

Does that mean I should remove it and re-install a newer Java?
What does Java do for me anyway?
I never execute any program called "Java" (sounds silly).

What is Java and why do I need it if it's exploited anyway?
All I do is look at web pages (I hate fancy moving web pages so I
don't ever even install Flash or RealPlayer, yuck!).

Do I really need this Java in the first place?
