    shows that I have 2 of the same versions of Sun Java JRE 6.070.6. However, on my Add/Remove Program list there shows only 1. They seem to be located in 2 different locations. :confused See the pics below.

    Do I need to remove one of them and if so, which one?

    To make it a bit more complicated I show also the same version in Firefox as a "Plugin". :confused

    Thank you for your anticipated help.

    Thanks Mark. However, I did uninstall just about amonth ago with JavaRa and re-installed the (newest) version I've shown in the pic below. Therefore, don't understand why Secunia shows the 2 of them in 2 different locations? :confused

    Should I uninstall and reinstall again? Thanks.

    Edit: Just noticed the link you gave me is for a newer version.

    Hmm, I updated to the latest version and have no problems (yet) with FF and XP. Secunia may be wrong or didn't write the new version yet as an update. How do we know if a new version is a critical one or just a not needed update? I was under the impression that all updates to Java are critical...
