The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

I'm having the same error (chrome 11, however) . it gives two options "Update plug-in" and "Run this time" . clicking "Update plug-in" jumps to same location you linked (ie http://java.com) and succesfully downloads "chromeinstall-6u25.exe". Unfortunately, when I run this .exe, it fires up, says "Welcome to Java", I click , and it opens a window titled "Downloading Java Installer" . it never finishes . every time before it completes, the window closes .. and that's it .. nothing else happens, no message, no error, nothing. I've tried closing and restarting Chrome .. nadda . zip, zilch . Any ideas? (winxp sp3 btw)

Hi! You're having a problem with the Java plug-in, not this joystick plug-in. Download the "offline" installer from here: http://java.com:80/en/download/manual.jsp#win and see if that helps. If it's still not working, try the installer help here: http://www.liveperson.com/lp/java-help/

With the latest Java (1.6.0_26) in the latest Chrome (12.0.742.100) on Windows 7 x64, I'm also getting this error. Tracking it down some, it appears that the the javascript-joystick plugin is registering itself within Chrome as part of Java somehow. That's why the message that pops up references Java. To verify where it appears, I opened up the about:plugins page and expanded the details, it appears under the Java Category and points to the NPAPI version of the javascript-joystick plugin that lives in the Firefox folder. While it doesn't address why Chrome thinks this plugin is part of Java, a work around is to add the '--allow-outdated-plugins' command line flag to Chrome before you start it.

I think it's just the word Java in the name that means it lists itself in the Java section. I take it other NPAPI plug-ins work for you?

I am also interested to see if there is a fix available for this.

I removed the word Java from the start of the plug-in name, then tried a Chrome update. This worked without problems on my machine (Win7 64-bit, Chrome 14).

Goto Menu click on internet see google chrome add google chrome to panel right click on google chrome icon in panel and choose edit it will show Application . something like this [[[ /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome %U ]]] Now open terminal and copy paste enter this /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome --allow-outdated-plugins Application . something like this [[[ /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome %U ]]] add --allow-outdated-plugins Finally you need this command in terminal /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome --allow-outdated-plugins

I am getting a JAVA WAS BLOCKED message when trying to open a file from within Internet Explorer on my Windows 8.1 computer.

The ActiveX Control within the Internet Explorer browser allows the user to perform a specific task, such as playing a video clip or view PDF files, from within the Internet Explorer window without having to launch a separate application.

The Java™ was blocked because it is out of date and needs to be updated message will be displayed whenever a specific ActiveX control has been prevented from running because an application or component is out of date. This will also help you to obtain the latest version of the affected application or utility by taking you directly to the website for the out of date component.

The Java(TM) was blocked because it is out of date and needs to be updated message will present you with two options:

• Update — Selecting this option will take you to the main page for that specific ActiveX control so that you can download and install the latest version.
• Run this time — Selecting this option will bypass the update process and execute the ActiveX control. When doing this you will be presented with a security prompt notifying you that you are attempting to launch an application from outside of Internet Explorer:

This prompt will also present you with two options:

• Allow — This option will enable the application to be launch. IMPORTANT: Only select this option after you have verified the application publisher and confirmed that it is a trusted company. Launching an unknown or untrusted application can have serious negative consequences.
• Don’t allow — This option will prevent the application from running.

How to Fix Application Blocked by JAVA Security? (2 Fixes)

Several users are encountering the “Your security settings have blocked an untrusted application from running” when trying to launch a Java applet. The issue doesn’t seem to be exclusive to a certain Windows version – the error is encountered with every recent version including Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10.

What causes Security Settings to Block Applications from Running?

We investigated the “Your security settings have blocked an untrusted application from running” error by looking at various user reports and the repair strategies that they used.

As it turns out, the error prompt will occur due to Java browser plug-in behavior introduced with Java 7 Update 21. The idea was to allow users to make more informed decisions when having to run a Java-powered applet inside a web browser.

If you have Java 7 Update 21 or older, any application that doesn’t have a certificate or is missing the Application name or the Publisher information is blocked by default. This decision was made to protect unsuspecting users from unsafe or high-risk applications.

Once these new changes enforced, there are three main causes that will trigger this particular Java error message:

• The application is unsigned – Applications without a certificate or missing Publisher Information and Name are blocked by default. These might end up making your system vulnerable to external exploits.
• The user is trying to run a self-signed application from an untrusted authority – Applications with self-signed certificates are also blocked by default starting with Java 7 Update 51. These are considered even more dangerous than unsigned applications since they might be granted access to personal data on your computer.
• Application’s jar file is missing a permission attribute – The permission attribute verifies if the application request uses the same permission level that was specified by the developer. An application with a missing jar attribute is blocked because an attacker might exploit the user by running the application with a different privilege level.

In general, an Applet or application that is missing these key identification parts should be considered unsafe. If you don’t know it, we highly recommend that you avoid running it.

However, if you know the publisher and you trust the applet (e.g. you developed it yourself or you’re testing it) there are ways to circumvent this particular error message.

Below you have a couple of methods that will allow you to deal with the “Your security settings have blocked an untrusted application from running” error. Although Method 1 is widely considered as standard practice when having to deal with this particular error message, you can also follow Method 2 to achieve the same purpose.

Method 1: Configuring the Exception Site List

In the event that you do understand the risk of launching an application that is considered unsafe by Java, you can prevent the “Your security settings have blocked an untrusted application from running” error message from appearing by adding the application to the Exception Site List. You can find this setting under the Security tab of the Java Control Panel.

Here’s a quick guide on opening the Java Control Panel and adding the Java applet to the Exclusion Site List:

1. Press Windows key + R to open up a Run dialog box. Then, type “control” and press Enter to open Control Panel.
2. Inside the Control Panel window, click on Programs, then click on the Java icon to open the Java Control Panel.
   
3. Inside the Java Control Panel window, go to the Security tab and click on the Edit Site List.
4. Inside the Exception Site list, click on Add button, then paste the URL of the Java applet that is giving you troubles. Hit Ok to add the URL to the Exclusion list. Note: Keep in mind that depending on which applet you’re trying to run, you might also need to add non-standard ports to the Java Exclusion List.
5. Click Continue at the next Security Warning to confirm that you want to add the URL that you’ve just entered to the exclusion list.
6. Re-open the applet that was previously showing the error. The error should no longer be occurring.

If you’re looking for a different way of resolving the “Your security settings have blocked an untrusted application from running” error, move down to the next method below.

Method 2: Setting the Security level of application to High

Another way to go around resolving the “Your security settings has blocked an untrusted application from running” error is to set the Java Security level to High instead of Very High.

While this method is way easier (and quicker) to implement, it will expose your computer to many potential risks. With this in mind, it’s preferable to follow Method 1 if you trust the source than to modify the security level.

However, if you decide to do it, we encourage you to revert to the default Security Settings level once you are done using the Java application that is triggering the error.

Here’s a quick guide o how to modify the Security Level:

1. Press Windows key + R to open up a Run dialog box. Next, type “control” and press Enter to open Control Panel.
2. Inside the Control Panel window, click on Programs, then click on the Java icon to open the Java Control Panel.
   
3. Inside the Java Control Panel window, go to the Security tab and select the High toggle from under the Security level for applications, not on the Exception Site List. Then, click Apply to save the changes.
4. Restart the browser that you’re running the applet in and see if the issue has been resolved once you reload the page.
