[QUOTE="PGB1, post: 1572525, member: 76746"] Good Day All! I've searched & searched for the answer to a puzzlement and managed to get quite confused. Is Java safe to have on the Mac running OS X 10.6.8? Should it be disabled in the operating system and the browsers, just the browsers or neither one? Is JavaScript safe to have on the Mac. Should it be disabled? I do have one program that requires Java to run (CrashPlan). I'd also assume lots of web sites need one or the other. I apologize for asking a basic questions, but my searching revealed answers ranging from "It's All Good- No Worries" to "The Bad Guys Are Going To Get You If You Have Either". I this forum, search results for JavaScript came up empty and for Java, too. But, I know they must be here somewhere. This is the place for real & knowledgeable answers, so here I am! Thanks Very Much! Paul [/QUOTE]
