Cometolearn Reviewed by Cometolearn on 2nd Sep 2012. Java stinks: Turn off your Java browser plugin Do any of you regularly visit a site that requires Java to be installed on your computer?

why do you open anything clicksor-related? install NoScript for firefox or Notscripts for opera and after setting things up you won't get anymore active content from clicksor and similar marketing bullcraps

Nice shared mate, I would suggest using chrome nowadays that had better protection against malware instead of disabling the java applet. I personally use the java to connect some of my important applications and using it with logmein.com to connect to my office comp.

looking for thoughts.

kind regards
