GVU's Sixth WWW User Survey Author Graphs

Security Of Java

Notes:

The largest category of users said that they didn't know how secure Java was (45.4%). Of those who gave it a rating, 8.3% thought it was very insecure, 28.0% said somewhat insecure, 54.5% said somewhat secure and 9.0% thought it was very secure. This represents a distinct shift toward more trust in Java's security measures from the Fifth survey.
