So I'm not particularly computer savvy and I just got a new system that I put a lot of money into. I'm trying to be as careful as possible with this one and I've heard some bad things about Java so I wasn't sure if I should let it update now. Anyway any help would be much appreciated.

P.S. I hope this is in the right area. Based on the nature of my question I assumed this would be the right part of the forum to place this question in.

Update: I just went to Java's website and it's telling me that since I use Chrome there could be an issue. Apparently Chrome doesn't support it or something. Should I still update Java if this is the case?

Java is okay as long as you make sure you get the official copy and uncheck the options which install extra software.
