do you mean in add remove programs? you should only have the latest version located there if that is what you meant, having old versions is a huge risk to your security. Now the newest version will remove the previous version but you do have to remove all the other old versions manually. JavaRA is an excellent little tool that will do all the hard work for you.
Download JavaRa and unzip it to your desktop. (at bottom of this post)

* Double-click on JavaRa.exe to start the program. (Windows Vista users Right-click JavaRa.exe > Select Run as Administrator)
* Click on Remove Older Versions to remove older versions of Java.

Then download and install Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 16.

Download Link: Java SE Runtime Environment 6u16
Java SE Runtime Environment 6u16

Note: UNCHECK any pre-checked toolbar and/or software options presented with the update. They are not part of the software update and are completely optional.

Java 6 Update 13 Question
Q
Comments (6)
Back again to report. I double clicked on the coffee cup icon, the box that came up had tabs. General, Update, Java, Security and Advanced. I clicked on Update. It is set to notify me before install, there is a check mark next to check for updates automatically. When I clicked on the lower button to check for updates the msg read: You already have the latest Java (TM) Platform on this system. But the version is 6 Update 11 according to this info and what's in the add/remove section. I can't make sense of this. When I went to the Java site, there were so many different 6 Update 13 that I didn't do anything there. Should I just not worry about the strangeness of this whole matter, or should I be looking to get 6 Update 13 for my XP? Thank you. Sapphires

I "did" uncheck that part and it went ahead and started installing Open Office anyway...there was no place to stop it, so I just shut my computer down with the button...I couldn't even shut it down from the start menu. I clicked on the icon finally and I had a choice to close it and I did that and I don't have that icon there anymore. I am using Java 6 and this was for Java 7

Java Update Security Warning

Thanks, everyone. Those warnings make me nervous... To answer zep's questions - yes, it is Vista; and yes, it is Internet Explorer. OK, so I think it is the firewall, then. So I will allow it; and I will tell it not to ask me again. I didn't allow it at first, so then I allowed it the second time (waited for my computer to blow up... ; ) ... but it didn't happen); but I didn't check on not to show again because I was afraid that if allowing it was not the thing to do, I wouldn't be able to see that pop-up again. If that makes sense. If I have any problems with version 7, I'll let you guys know. I did notice that when I was downloading it, it took awhile to download some patches along with it. Thanks very much! Again. : )
