I went to a web site and it said I needed Java.
I searched for Java and went to the Win XP SP 2 site to download it.
It directed me to Sun Micro Systems for the download.
Is it safe to download and use?
What is it and what is it for?
Thank you

Hi,

The safe download is here:
http://www.java.com/en/download/windows_automatic.jsp

It is used by many sites and applications.
