Viewer Applets

[Genetrix]

I use the Scotland's People website a lot and have been using the JAVA viewer.  This morning I got a pop-up message saying my JAVA was out of date and to download the latest version.  I did this with no problems until I tried viewing one of my previous searches when a box popped up asking if I wanted to run ViewONE (I don't know what this is) but at the bottom it had a warning saying "running this application may put your computer and personal information at risk".  I obviously don't want that to happen, so declined, but on closing the window I still couldn't view the page I wanted.  Scotland's People say the viewer has nothing to do with them and that I could use a different one.  Any advice would be welcome.

Viewone is a Java based viewer utility from a company called Daeja who are now part of IBM

It is possible that in updating your viewer you have unintentionally loaded or enabled Viewone (or if its fake you may have been hijacked    )

Personally I prefer the Direct Download method on SP rather than faffing about with different viewers

Thanks Falkyrn:  I've changed my setting on SP to Direct Download and it was much faster. Don't know what I'd do without RootsChat.
