    Yes, you can safely accept the Java update. After that i'd set it to stop checking for updates, it gets annoying and is unnecessary.
    they issue updates to patch vulnerabilities within the java software so disabling the update features are not advised for system security reasons.

    I suggest blocking 3rd party cookies completely,I did wonder about this one but wasn't sure so left it for further comments. I have now changed it, thanks they are a way of tracking you as you surf. Don't see the point of keeping history either.


    I'll probably reduce the history, rather than delete it as it can be useful very occasionally:)

    As you say, it is better for it to be on, thanks:)
