I keep getting prompted to allow jucheck.exe to access my system. (1 Viewer)

Never happened before last week. Reading around it it seems to be a usually innocuous yokey to do with Java. I'm on a Windows Vista Home Bullshit computer if that's any help? Should I just let it access the system or wha?

after all the recent shite with java exploits they've made their stuff a lot more vocal.

if you don't know for a fact that you need java, just uninstall it. I think revenue on line needs it, and stuff like GoToMyPC uses it (but doesn't need it). Anyway if it turns out you do actually need it you'll be told quick enough & you can install the latest from java.com. Then uninstall it again....

Revenue online really need to update their site. It's the only thing I use Java for and that's once a year.
If you're in the same situation the best thing to do is completely un-install java from your system. Then download the latest version from Java.com. This will give you the latest version of the Java control panel.
There's a new option in there to quickly disable it in the browser and in my case, re-enable it once a year.
