Sun Java Update 7

Damn Java Update 6, and again 7!

They both slow my IE6 to a crawl, when opening new IE windows.
It took 25 seconds just to get Google (set as homepage) to open up with the Java
Update 7 installed, (down from 2 minutes with the version 6 Java update, which
has since been uninstalled before putting in 7). Going from webpage to webpage
is OK as long as a new one isn't opened up in a separate window.

My machine is 350 Mhz, so maybe my results just wouldn't be noticeable on a
machine that runs 10X that fast (10% of 25 seconds is 2.5 seconds).

I'm gonna have to uninstall this Java Update 7 bloatware that overloads Explorer
for way too damn long.
 
Where does it say that the old version 1.5.0_06 is vulnerable to Trojans such as Vundo?
Bug fixing is the reason for the update, not vulnerability - as you sem to indicate!

That specific update - no, it is NOT vulnerable and that's a good point.

That is exactly what David is suggesting; To remove the old version
(because it is likely to be buggy) and install the new version.

You seem to have misunderstood his message.
