Java Block?

[vitadolce]

I have just recently purchased an iMac computer and am really pleased with it.
I was wondering if there is any way to completely block java in iMac?
Not just on web browsers like chrome or safari.
I just want to block and disable java entirely.
Thank you for the help!

Check in System Preferences for a Java preference Utility. If it's there, under the Security tab you can disable Java System wide but be aware that some apps might not function properly if Java is disabled …

if you type this or copy/paste it into Terminal, you should see a list of apps on your Mac that rely on Java:

find /Applications -type d -name *.app -prune -exec sh -c 'ls -R "$1" | grep -q \.jar\$' {} {} \; -print

I keep receiving this warning on my computer. it started about 2 weeks ago after I upgraded to Yosemite. This window pops up even when i'm not connected to the internet and when growers are not even open. it interrupts me with whatever task i am doing. It won't let me do anything on my MacBook without clicking OK to dismiss it and then it pops up an hour later. It pops up right away when i restart my computer.

I once installed java, not knowing how useless it was, and I have uninstalled from my computer since. The I have java blocked on all my web browsers with the exception of java script. I have my settings so that Java script is allowed.

Does anyone know how I can get rid of this? The only solution I have left is to wipe my computer and re-install everything. I do back up very regularly, so this isn't the most terrible thing. I am worried that I will re-install or put the issue back on my computer.

Does anyone have any insight into this issue?

That will automatically pop up because you disabled Java, that message will appear forever until you enable Java. To enable it go into System Preferences, Java, and click enable! I hoped this helped!
