I am running Windows Vista and there are two user accounts on this computer.  This morning I updated Java on one user account.  Do I have to also do the same update for Java on the other user account.  Also, I am finding that this Java update procedure is time consuming and very aggravating.  It is happening on a fairly frequent basis.  Do I really need Java on my PC or can I just remove it completely?

Do I need Java on my computer?

Some browsers require the use of add-ons or extensions to safely render the information they receive; others have systems built into them to perform the same functions.
