If you are on the Java version 7 update 10 or below, I highly suggest that you update to update 11 from here: http://java.com/inc/BrowserRedirect1.jsp?locale=en
You don't need to know what version of Java you're currently on. You should update to the latest version to keep up with the performance and security improvements etc...


The reason for this is a huge security flaw.
I suggest you take a quick read of this article: http://mashable.com/2013/01/13/java-exploit/

Also, keep posting on this thread to keep it alive for a bit. Scan your PC after installing the new java with Malware Bytes which can be found here:

Laptop fine now after installing latest version 11.

I did and now my email wont work

I use 'countermail' and some new java plugin is stopping it from loading...

I also have to click to allow the java window to open..

It says click here to activate the Java(TM) Platform SE 6 U plugin.

Only then will game window load, but can't get my email's at all, countermails so secure now, even I can't get my emails

Any ideas ?

Thanks in advance...

Have you uninstalled your previous versions of Java?

I always uninstall old versions before I update anything

So yeah it has me lost and without important emails, I even tried taking my email dongle out and still no joy pal..

I'm sure I'll mess about and get it sorted somehow...

Weird 'uninstall' comes up as a spelling mistake, could be my usa english spell checker

Sounds stupid, but have you restarted your computer since you installed it?

Looks to be an outdated plugin the SE6,current plugins on my browser are,
Java(TM) Platform SE7U11,
Java Deployment Toolkit 7.0.110.21.
That's after getting rid of old for new.

That's weird. I was getting that message earlier. Now that I've updated, I don't get that anymore. Make sure you've restarted the browser after updating, otherwise the change doesn't take effect.

done and everything running smooth!

Thats what my pool table looks like now, so happy I messed with java

What the hell happened their, im grateful i never done what this thread said to do, i only update Java when it says i need to if i cant log into server for it.

I'm not blaming flapjack, after putting SE7U11 on I can get my emails but the screens like that for about first 20 shots. Then if I go to forum and back to table its blurred again for further period till it turns normal again.

Nightmare but I'll fix it, won't even let me dl java so may need to get it emailed to me or something

Kirk didn't believe me I don't think

Yes ageed!^ only update when told to by jAVA

This update is actually pretty important because of the widely reported security flaws....
not sure what the hell happened with that picture though hahaha

although i know of that security flaw nationwide..

I understand the importance of the update and as I said don't blame flapjack, can't even system restore, arrrrggggg

i have no idea how to use computers whatsoever, and im not asking our lass because she hates me being on funkypool, can anyone post the uninstall link, and the new one please so i can just run from that adress

Uninstall in your control panel pal, add remove programs

start>contol pannel>add/remove program - find java and uninstall it (http://www.java.com/en/download/uninstall.jsp if need help)

Nifty^
