i need to install an active x control called java from sun microsystems to
use a particular website. Is it safe to download and install this?, would
it cause any problems on my pc? I am using xp home by the way.

Any advice much appreciated.
 
Yes, it is safe to download the Sun Microsystems ActiveX control.

Make sure you check the ActiveX signed and the cert is good before you
download if you concert about the security.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!!!! You ****ing idiotic piece of shit. Does Bill
actually pay you real money to write that sort of ****ing crap?

Take it one step at a time, you total ****wit...

The poster doesn't know if he can trust a download from Sun Microsystems.
Yes? Still with it, ****head? Clearly he is a new or inexperienced user,
yes? No?

If he can't decide if he should or should not download from Sun
Microsystems, how the **** is he going to know how to "check the ActiveX
signed", you illiterate ****stick?

And how the ****ing hell is he going to know how to check that "the cert is
good", you brain-dead, good for ****ing nothing, ****witted ****?
 
Come on. Give the guy a break. From the tenor of his post I seriously doubt
that he'll know what a "cert" is and how to tell if it's good or not.
