Java [View all]

I disabled Java a few weeks ago, per DHS. For the past three days, I've gotten notifications to update it. I always select 'no' but I want to resolve this.

I have read that security updates Java recommends are not sufficient so should I just Delete Java as a program? Perhaps I don't appreciate why I have it in the first place.

Thank you,

Carla
