    You can find out your EXACT version by issuing the following command in a Command Prompt...

    java -version

    Just what is going on with the Java Runtime updates? I have JRE 5 update 8
    installed. I just checked www.java.com and it is offering update 6.

    I recall some time ago that update 9 had been pulled but hadn't heard that 8 and
    7 had also been pulled.

    There are *many* experts and novices alike saying the same thing, "what the f**k !", while
    scratching their head in disbelief.

    I hadn't heard anything......and I do have update 9 on here. Is it
    supposed to be removed and replaced with 8?? I still have 7 and 8 in my
    downloaded programs folder, so could replace it. But I have had
    absolutely no problems with it.

    Cheers.....Heather

    Sun has released Updates 7, 8 and 9. 9 is available if you want
    it. Update 6 is what you get if you have Windows and go to the
    main Java site or you perform an update via Java itself. Update
    6 patched a security hole. 7 - 9 contain bug fixes. So...
    unless you are having Java problems using Windows and go to the
    Java support site, Update 6 is all you need.

    P.S. Sun issued an alert that said if you keep older versions
    (Update 5 or earlier) on your machine you are still vulnerable.

    Yeah, does seem strange, I only noticed the old ones were not removed a
    few versions ago when I was trying to make more space on the disk.

    It is, darlin'.....I was just too lazy to type in version 5. I have the
    latest update cuz I saw you mention it on here.

    You would think they could advise you when a new one comes out......and
    as someone else says, make it so it removes the existing version. OTOH,
    I prefer to uninstall myself and then I know it is ALL gone.

    Cheers...Heather
