When I clicked on the Java security link I posted above, it had a subdivision, which I clicked, and it read my cookies and told me what to delete! How nice is that?

So I have no qualms now about doing so. Also before this popped up, I did update to version 6 update 27. Maybe that is how they knew what I had? duh?
This is the link with directions to XP and Vista/Win 7
http://www.java.com/en/download/uninstall.jsp
edit: Okay I did it... removed all that were suggested. This left 3 others and the new version 27 I just downloaded,-- I checked. By going to Java it was pretty straightforward. It would be nice if we KNEW this had to be done! duh?
BTW you have to reboot completely to get the uninstalled files to totally go away. That is done too.
