What are these mToolkit programs on my Dell laptop (Can I just remove them?)?

There is a vulnerability in the interaction between Java and Javascript within
a browser that Sun patched in version 1.4.2_06 and later. It is not present in
version 1.5+. If you aren't even using Java there is no risk from it. If you
run Java but not Javascript there is no risk from it. The vulnerability only
occurs when running mini-programs in Java called "applets" in combination with
certain malicious Javascript scripts in the browser.

Oh my. Thank you Lew. I do very much appreciate the advice as to what
Java and Javascript are. I never knew. I just knew that I hate when my
web browser does funky things like spin the icons and other silly
browser tricks. I turn off all that flash, realmedia, java,
javascript, etc. stuff the moment I install a browser. So, I guess I
wasn't vulnerable in the first place.

Still, it's nice to know I have the latest Java installed now
(although that will have a vulnerability in a short while if history
is any judge). That's why I prefer to have as few items running on my
system as possible ... hence the desire to rid myself of these 'm'
progams that everyone seems to have running, by default (if they use
CCleaner to show the true list of running programs).

Thanks,
Lisa
