When I open Add/Remove Programs there are a number of Java installs listed, usually over 100MB each. Andy Whitehouse
A reader recently got hit by a trojan that could have exploited a bug in an old version of Java that he didn't think mattered. This makes me want to uninstall every Java in sight and download the latest version from Sun. It's better to do this after a restart, before running any large applications. However, Java is typically around 7MB. You must have something like the J2SE Runtime Environment, which runs Java applications on the desktop. It probably came pre-installed, and you probably don't need it. If you'd had to download 100MB+ files, wouldn't you have noticed?
