I am happy to have Java on my PC for free, but I'm upset that the last Java update's default action was to install Carbonite on my PC.

I prefer to choose my own backup solution.

I have lost trust that Sun will install only Java during Java updates.

Agreed; I'm fed up of garbage being installed behind my back.

Go to the control panel. Bring up "Remove Programs". Remove the damn program. And do not download any Sun Java software ever again. It just is not worth the damn trouble go back and restart the whole PC mess.

The Java update is such a frequent pop-up that people are used to clicking on the update without much thought. The Carbonite program is included by default and should be an optional selection. More & more we have to become I.T. specialists just to do regular operations on a computer. The requirement to remove carbonite was another waste of time due to bloatware. Shame on Sun!

I noticed the shortcut on my desktop, the online support says I chose the option. The window got stuck off to the side with only the close button in the corner showing, I couldn't drag it over to see what was going on. dirty bastages

Daily Horoscope for December 11

Sagittarius

Moodiness is never far away today, making you over-react to problems and giving you a tendency to take out your feelings on your nearest and dearest. If someone asks you what's really wrong, you'll struggle to explain and may even have to give up because you can't put it into words. It's like an itch that you can't scratch, and you don't know where it stems from or what it means.
