My personal philosophy is that if I don’t need it, I don’t install it or keep it. "If you don’t have Java, then you probably don’t need it. Add/Remove lists only this latest version.įrankly, I was not convinced this latest JRE update patched the latest critical vulnerability when I first posted I'm still not.Īnd I remained unconvinced of the need to have JRE at all.
