    Hi, ALL,
    I just saw a very interesting situation.

    I got a Sony Vaio laptop which has Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Edition.
    When I open "Programs and Features" on Control Panel I saw that this guy has 2 versions of JAVA: "JAVA(TM) 6 Update 20" and "JAVA(TM) 6 Update 20 (64-bit)".

    I have a feeling that one of them has to be killed, but which one? And if I grab the update "6.21" which version will I get?

    Thank you for clarification.

    Moved to the software forum as this is not a malware issue.

    Greetings, ONEEYEMAN.

    It's basically a moot point: Java is now at version 6.0.22. Suggest you get rid of both instances, and download/install the newest version.
