Windows 10: Latest version of Java

I remember in the '90's we thought Java would be the next best thing - got a dev. certificate and all - but never used it since... .proved to be too resource hungry - but it's good to see it's still going strong.

 

From Malwarebytes Unpacked, I HIGHLY recommend you go read the FULL post: https://blog.malwarebytes.org/online...ava-i-ordered/






On several sites, we have seen reports of popups that look very similar to the one Java used to notify users when the content of a site requires the Java plugin to show the full content.


But if we follow this particular prompt we get something completely different called “Media Downloader”.


The downloaded file is called setup.exe and is recognized by a few scanners that detect this file as potentially unwanted adware. (PUP.Optional.Media)
It installs a program called Media Downloader version 1.5.

 

That's just another reason why I am Glad I have Malwarebytes Pro installed on both my computers Cliff. Also and I know lots of people will disagree with me, I have seen my Norton 360 also kick in more than once to warn me about a program or a web site that I was directed too.
