Hi Corrine (:smiley:), I have another WinPatrol question for you. I updated Java 7 update 7 to Java 7 update 9 today. Afterwards, Scotty asked me if I wanted to add the latest Java add-on (can't remember the exact wording). I said 'yes'? I mean, YES. ha

When I looked into IE Helpers I saw that this add-on has an exclamation mark in a yellow shield. Does this mean something is wrong, is it some kind of warning? Just thought I'd check. I'll post 2 screenshots:

Hi, Dianne.  That is just the icon for the ssv.dll and is legitimate.  It does appear disconcerting since it is an exclamation mark in what looks like a security shield so a wise move to check.   :thumbsup:
