test your java security
« on: June 21, 2005, 09:05:06 PM »
Hello forum members,

There are of you that have for one reason or another java enabled in their browser of choice. If you want to see if your java is safe, test it here with jsecure:

For me all three tests were safe in Firefox,

You've missed the 'l' in 'html' from your hyperlink, Polonus.

Hi FreewheelinFrank,

You are punctual, my  friend. SherlockHolmes can hardly  compete with you. I have corrected it. I am still on the look-out for the virus is the system restore folder, but still I have not found the right example. By the way - if I put this link right - this is also interesting info  for you: http://www.theeldergeek.com/delete_undeletable_file.htm

Howdy Bob3160,

Congrats, I never say that FF is the last answer, and a good patched XP SP2 IE is also safe to surf. Wait until late summer and IE 7.0 is out. They wanted to wait until the Longhorn OS, but will release the browser version  sooner. I wonder why?

I have IE SP2 and it's safe for me.  FF is perfectly safe since I never install Java runtime for FF lol.  Thanks for this test, it's really enjoyable since I'm bored. ;D

Hi Fixer,

What is your thing then?  What is getting you out of your chair?
These are not actually boring times when we have 45.000 viruses around. I like to give this flister program a test. But I am not on XP at the mo,

Well one thing, the fish tank need to be repairs, I keep getting some scratching sounds.  That's what keeping me out of the chair.   ;D  I enjoy doing these test seriously, but after these test and scans I am a bit bored.  Sorry about that.   ;D

Hi Fixer,

Nothing wrong with that. Do you have Moon fish in your tank. I like those very much. I also like the fish that breed the little ones in their mouth. Fish are operating on all sorts of planes, there is ground fish, the surface fish. When I was young we had little sticklebacks in a jar and saw how frogs developed. If you like fish, you are a nice person.

have a nice day,

polonus
