Is jucheck.exe okay to download? My computer wants me to do this - says it's a Java upgrade, but when I go to Java.com, their site tells me that Firefox/Mozilla has a problem with it... Should I download it or not? Thanks ~ Deb

Jucheck.exe is really just a add-on to Java to help let you know when a Java update is available. It is not a service you NEED. But usually if it says Mozilla has a problem it should be avoided. The workers here have a good sense of what is good for the software. Here is the link to what Jucheck is http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/jucheck.xml

Hope this helps, Jeremy Eramian
