Now go to Add/Remove Programs and uninstall the older Java before you install the newer one. After the installation, go to Control Panel and double-click on the Java icon.

Java can be a gateway for infection and older versions of Java have known vulnerabilities. It is important to always have the latest version of Java.

Java update
One other 'helpful' Java setting is to not cache or hold java content
on the PC. There are some performance issues but it prevents any Java content from being stored locally on the PC. Open the Java Applet in Control Panel ( Classic View ), click the settings button in the "Temporary Files" category. Untic or Uncheck the option box "Keep Temporary Files on my computer".
