Security Alert CVE-2013-1493 Released

By Eric P. Maurice on Mar 04, 2013

 

Please check that you have the latest version of Java:

What is Java Auto Update? How do I change notify settings?

 

See the section:

Manual Update Option

 

From the Java Control Panel Update tab, you can manually check for an update any time by clicking on the Update Now button located at the bottom of the Update tab on the Java Control panel.

 

Alternatively, you can go Java.com to get the latest Java version.

 

All the best, woz of oz

Thanks. I think automatic updates are already set when a user installs Java using the default settings. I just saw one that ran on my PC, the jusched.exe file which is for Java update.
