        Java and Flash have had some bad press recently due to some bugs which has lead to some zero day exploits (see news on Microsoft & Apple being hacked).

        I've noticed two weeks ago ESET considered old java setup programs as a virus when its never done that before so its possible some AV companies are treating Java (and Flash) as bad until Oracle (and Adobe) get their act together.

          ok, see i didn't know what to think, i have always had problems with java, seems whenever it's on my computer i can expect it to have problems, but lately i have been playing minecraft so it's kind of necessary. I'm also on youtube a lot, in the meantime i think ill just bypass HAVP if it's not going to harm my computer (theoretically), i was just wondering if it wasn't someone tampering with the download.
