As always, thank you for these notifications TripleHelix.
These days I'm finding out about many releases through you rather than my normal channels! 🙂

Thanks Daniel for the heads up! Being a forced user of Java rushing to update.

That's what I do guys and Thanks, when I see updates on critical apps such as Java and Adobe and even Windows Updates and  I like to get the info out ASAP to our Members as Security is more then just having an AV we got to keep our systems patched. ;)

Finally!
 
My bank at last understood that relying on Java is bad approach and from 24th October they will implement other security solution for online banking application that won't be dependant on Java. So if everything goes well, I will uninstall Java on 25th. :D

Today is a significant day!
 
As I already hinted in my previous post, my bank house released today the new banking online system that doesn't require Java applets. The system is stabile enough that I could allow to uninstall Java so soon. So after many years when I was forcibly tied with Java only for purpose to run my banking finally I could get rid of one of the most unsecured application ever.
 
I can breathe much better now. :D
 
Farewell Java!
