We saw the writing on the wall and opted to fully remove Java from our Monthly Support clients’ systems. Looks like we were right on target. According to THN, after Oracle released an emergency patch for the Java flaw that was being exploited earlier this week, a new flaw has been discovered.
For those of you running Firefox, it’s been disabling Java in the browser for months now:
We recommend completely removing Java from your system. Head to your Programs and Features applet (for Win7 and Win Vista users) or Add/Remove Programs (for XP users) to uninstall Java. I easily say, “remove any version of Java that is installed,” but I have to pepper that with caution. You can easily damage your system if you uninstall the wrong program. So before making ANY changes to your system, always make sure you have a backup of your critical data.
If you have any questions or need any assistance, just let us know! We can be reached via (888) 374-5422 or our Contact Us page.

I currently manage hundreds of consignment workstations, point of sale systems, and database servers all across North America and I am the developer of Peeps' Software, Peeps2Go, and Peeps' Consignor Login for iOS and Android. I've been helping consignment & resale store-owners since 2003. I started The Computer Peeps in February of 2010.

After 20 years of working with consignment stores, I understand the unique challenges consignment & resale store-owners face. From electrical issues in old buildings or strip malls, to advocating for them when their old consignment software keeps crashing.
