I am trying to make my MacBook more secure.

Under Security, there is an option called "Block all incoming connections".

If you check that, I believe you wouldn't be able to surf the Internet, right?

However, what I am wondering is this...

I have been reading that Java has lots of security holes - or at least Java for Web Browsers.

Would it make sense to "Block Incoming Connections" for Java and Java Preferences.app??

I have already disabled Java in FireFox, and as far as I know, I am not using Java for anything on my MacBook which runs Snow Leopard 10.6.8, btw.

Sincerely,


Debbie
