Firefox says that I have Java Deplyment Tool Kit.
Should I uninstall that?
It is the only reference to Java on my Windows XP
Thanks
Before you uninstall Java, you need to determine what programs it might impact.
IIRC, and maybe it was only earlier versions, but Firefox used to require Java. That may have been some of the add-ons, but I recall getting messages to install or upgrade Java when I upgraded Firefox.
Many web pages require Java. My cable ISP email requires it for HTML mode.
I have several Windows programs that require Java.

Without more information of this ‘threat’, I am not going to be too concerned about it. If it is serious, Oracle will probably release an upgrade to Java soon.
