Java :-(

I wish Java wouldn't come with third party software. They're getting worse.
I hope this helps: https://www.java.com/en/download/faq/disable_offers.xml

And I wish FNB wouldn't use Java so I wouldn't have to have it installed on the work computers. Needless to say, I'll follow the above steps on all of them.

Learn something new every day.

What exactly do you need Java for with regards to FNB?

Wondering the same thing. I've never had to install Java for normal internet banking.

Business banking uses Java.

Business banking uses Java.

Not ours. We use FNB for a business account, no Java.

Business banking uses Java.

Aha! That explains why I never needed it before. I still wonder why the business version needs Java. I'm sure FNB can get it done without Java.

Busines banking and RMB as well

And then Sars uses an older version so you need to switch between the two the whole time. Do this daily

Not ours. We use FNB for a business account, no Java.

Then you use basic business banking, the higher end packages all require java.
Its a pain in the ass needing one version for FNB and another for SARS.

We have one computer with the old Java for SARS. The other computers get updated.

I suggested that, but accounts people don't want to budge and be inconvenienced by having two desktops.

So I just leave them be.

Java is a pain in the ass, but thankfully applets are being deprecated as part of Java 9:

Crossing fingers.

I still wish Oracle wasn't so aggressive with their third-party software. The last install I did, I unchecked it and clicked next only to get a popup asking if I was really sure I didn't want the software and that if I really, really didn't, I could click next again, but only if I was 100% certain. They're as bad as those chain letters.

Sadly, the JAVA always bundle with third party programs like Getsportscore. I also hate this. However, it is hard to avoid while installing JAVA. So, you guys have to be careful with Getsportscore and should remove it in time to prevent troubles.

Can someone go shoot the head of the SARS IT department for me!?

Frikken hell, why is it so damn difficult to keep the Java version up to date!
