>>In my desperate attempt to fix the SecureLink connection I installed 64-bit Java for Windows. This didn't resolve the issue with the SecureLink. But I remember that during the installation of the Java the message said something to the effect "that this is a dangerous program" Should I remove Java from this PC?

Used to have it installed in the past -- but after deprecation of a number of features it isn't as useful (to me) as it once was, so I don't bother installing the JVM nowadays (and tend to avoid anything that might require it). On those occasions where I'd installed JVM recently, it was within a VM session (typically running Windows XP).

I am not sure if SecureLink required 64-bit or 32-bit. But I know that SecureLinkCM.exe does not need Java.
My understanding is that SecureLink could work either one of two ways:
1. SecureLinkCM.exe - SecureLink Connection Manager. This does not require Java.
2. Using Java plug-in in the browser (only if the no 1 does not work).

In my case, neither one of the above works.
