In Windows Explorer, locate C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\new_plugin\ - in there should be file named npdeploytk.dll

Exit Firefox, rename the file for now, (i.e., DISABLED-npdeploytk.dll then restart Firefox and see if the Java Deployment Toolkit is gone. Then you can delete it.

You should update Java to version 1.6.0.20. Start>Control Panel>Java, Update tab, click Update.

NOTE: Each update will reinstall the Java Deployment Toolkit. The security issue causing older versions to be disabled has been fixed, so it won't prompt you to disable the latest version.

If you are on Windows 64-bit, go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\new_plugin\ instead.

OOPS!

I had installed the Java update and now I see that the file referenced above is gone and a different one is in it's place. Should I start over or not worry?

Thanks again,

Brian
