oracle java update fail
-
So I get an update notification from my java runtime and it asks if I want to install the Yahoo toolbar. Since when did Oracle start peddling malware, adware, etc. It's getting so you can't even update something without getting junkware. :~
Well, who doesn't release stuff like that ? Microsoft software is just as bad. Christian Graus That's called seagull management (or sometimes pigeon management)... Fly in, flap your arms and squawk a lot, crap all over everything and fly out again... by _Damian S_

The yahoo toolbar has been a component of the Java installer for a few years now. You may already have installed it on your machine without even realizing it.
