Old Java is Dangerous Java

by John Nemec on February 19th, 2009

JavaRa
JavaRa is a simple program that does something VERY important.  It removes old versions of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) from your machine.

According to JavaRa

Usually older versions of programs are removed during the install of new versions but Sun (the owner of Java) has somehow decided not to do this. The result is that a number of different versions of the JRE may exist on your computer. These older versions potentially pose a threat to your sense of security due to the possible vulnerabilities or security holes that may exist in them.

This security threat is an open door to hackers and other criminals.  Anyone interested in security should also be interested in JavaRa.
