Well, that sounds impractical because I'm running Windows 7. As for uninstalling or blocking Java, the last time I did that I couldn't play anything on Youtube.

The company shares vulnerability information with the US Government before releasing fixes to the public http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-06-14/u-s-agencies-said-to-swap-data-with-thousands-of-firms.html When you use Internet Explorer and get a virus or spyware on your computer (a likely occurrence), it could affect your privacy and security while using TorBrowser. If you absolutely must use Internet Explorer for browsing, make sure there are no toolbars or other add-ons installed that did not come with Windows or your anti-virus software. Also, uninstall Java (not Javascript) from your computer as it is a commonly used avenue to insert viruses and does not always remove old vulnerable versions or even update itself. _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
