[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1572651, member: 71075"] My advice - if you don't need Java, disable it. It doesn't create a gaping hole on your machine or anything but disabling it does add a tiny bit more security. As for JavaScript, you don't have it "on your Mac" per se - the runtimes are built into applications (primarily web browsers). You can disable each browser's JavaScript execution if you want but if you do, you're going to have a bad time on the web. For example, this page loads 22 external JavaScript files not to mention the JS built into the page itself. [/QUOTE]
