#JAVA FOR MAC 2015 UPDATE#
As you can see, I don’t need Java 8 Update 60 because I have the latest Java 8 Update 65 installed. If there are older versions, you will get a message showing you the versions and giving you the ability to uninstall them.Ĭlick on the Uninstall Selected Versions button to remove the older versions. The applet will check your version of Java and then remove out-of-date versions.
#JAVA FOR MAC 2015 INSTALL#
To get rid of the older versions, you can download and install the latest version of Java, which will automatically check for older versions and then install the latest version or you can run the Java Uninstall Tool.
#JAVA FOR MAC 2015 WINDOWS#
So what’s next? Well, the first thing I do when removing Java on Windows is to uninstall the older versions first. If you go back to the Control Panel and click on Programs and Features, you can see all the different versions of Java installed on your computer. Using this Control Panel option, you can also disable Java in your web browser without uninstalling it. If you see it there, that means you have Java installed. Oracle would stop if Apple put their foot down.You can check whether you have Java installed or not in Windows by going to the Control Panel and looking for the Java icon.
Perhaps user backlash can convince Apple they should work harder to not allow predators into their customers landscape. I’ll do my part to help the ones I see in trouble but it does not have to be this way. My experience is with the elderly but there are many non-tech-savvy users of Apple products that use Apple products like appliances (That’s a good thing). My examples are anecdotal so I can’t say it is widespread but I have had a couple of Octogenarians put away their MacBooks for good because they were taken advantage of and don’t want to deal with the abuse … If they are foolish enough to give phone numbers, these predators actually call them at home and harass them into sending money. I am angry because Apple used to be a safe place for them and I doubt they will be able to keep up with and avoid the new forms of socially engineered malware. At their age, communication is very good ‘mind food’ and therapy. But the biggest problem is that it shakes their confidence in computers and that is becoming a major part of how they communicate with their families. The Ask suite can be uninstalled but usually not before they send in $39.99 or something like it. “Your Mac is running too slow and may be infected…” is one of the more recent ones. It is not and if they dare to click on any of the top choices provided by Ask, they are very likely to be drawn into a Scam. The Ask ‘hijack’ (That’s what it acts like) is very insidious and to their untrained eyes looks just like the Google Search home page. In the last 60 days I have seen them becoming preyed upon just like they were on their old Microsoft products. However as I mentioned elsewhere in the thread, I work with a lot of elderly folks (Volunteer work) and up until now, Apple and Macs were a very safe place for them.
If I am not mistaken, Adobe used to have a similar bundling package and I made sure I didn’t ‘Opt in’.
I don’t personally have a problem with Ask. Howie, First, thanks for the link that showed the ‘Opt Out’ box (When it gets here).
