It is recommended that you update to the latest version. it's also necessary to remove the old java environments, not just update the new versions, as an attacker can target the old environments when they are still present."

EDIT/ADD:
(Currently reads:
"Java Runtime Environment Version 5.0 Update 6

???

:huh: :scratch:
I downloaded the "correct" one (the install "exe" even says it's jre… at 18.6MB). But when I attempted the install, it clearly states "J2SE Runtime Environment is preparing to install…". My mistake, I guess - but it's about as clear as mud.

EDIT/ADD:
'Just went here: http://www.java.com/en/download/windows_xpi.jsp and it now shows "Java Runtime Environment Version 5.0 Update 7" at 18.23MB, but it's the same 18.6MB file - 'must be the right one (me says, guessing all the way).
