But if you have programs written in Java, they will need the Java Runtime Environment installed. If you've never had issues running programs before, or never been prompted to install it before, chances are you can safely remove it. Note: Some websites require a slimmed down version of the Java Runtime Environment to be installed. Examples are some online trading sites with real-time platforms, etc. You'll be prompted if you visit one of these sites and the Java components are needed, so don't worry about it until then. HTH. _______________________________________ Have a pleasant day, Kind Regards and Best Wishes, Hussein.
