First I want to say I love AVAST who protect very good, even the free version is very good.
But now I have something I don´t like in it. The software part always remind me when I can get a update of a programme like java. In this case AVAST recommend java 6, but Oracle people says java version 7 because 6 is not good. I download 7 and install it, still AVSAST tell me to instal 6.?? Why?
It´s not good to install things who has bad security as java 6 has. :-\
It is basically telling you that you still have some elements of JAVA 6 installed, it won’t tell you to ‘install’ something that you currently don’t have. Click the more details and it will show what JAVA 6 version it believes you have and what one is available.
The more important question is do you really need JAVA at all ?
e.g. do you have an application/s that require JAVA or do you have to visit a site/s that require JAVA. If you can answer no or you don’t know if you need it, then the likelihood is that you don’t need JAVA.
Installing Java 7 does not remove nor overwrite Java 6. They are both installed. Uninstall Java 6 from Add/Remove Programs in Windows Control Panel.
