Well, java isn't secure, and likely something was either installed by Java, or was downloaded with Java (if you didn't get it directly from Sun Microsystems)

How to disable/enable Java in multiple browsers:


In Internet Explorer:

[Menu] Tools > Internet Options...
Go to the "Advanced" Tab of the dialog that pops up
Uncheck everything upder the Headings of "Java (Sun)" and "Microsoft VM"
You may have to restart IE or even your entire computer for these changes to take effect.


In Mozilla Firefox:

[Menu] Tools > Options...
Go to the "Web Features" tile on the left of the dialog that pops up
Uncheck the "Enable Java" checkbox


In Netscape Navigator (7)

[Menu] Edit > Preferences...
Click directly on (not the + box, but the name) the "Advanced" node of the TreeView on the left of the dialog that pops up
Uncheck the "Enable Java" checkbox


In Opera (7)
[Menu] Tools > Quick Preferences (F12) > Enable Java
Simply click the menu checkbox to disable it.


If there are any other browsers you wish to request directions, or have any other questions, feel free to ask! (Of course, I can only help you with ones I have or can get )
