Adobe Flash, Adobe Reader, and Oracle's Java. All three are virtually ubiquitous on modern-day PCs, and all three provide handy-dandy functionality—functionality that, in the case of Flash and Java, can't be directly reproduced by a third-party solution. If we lived in a vacuum, it would be hard to argue that the trio doesn't deserve its spot on computers around the globe. O espelho tem duas faces dublado 1990. We don't live in a vacuum, though. Here in the real world, widespread adoption of the software makes all three irresistible targets for hackers and malware peddlers. The attacks reached a fever pitch in the early months of 2013, with a flood of reports about Flash, Reader, and Java exploits.

About Java exploits hit PCWorld's homepage this past Monday and Tuesday alone, and in February. But don't yank out that ethernet cable or wrap your desk in a just yet. You don't have to use Java, Flash, and Reader just because everyone else does.

I spent more than a week without Reader, Java, Flash, and their respective browser plug-ins to see if it's possible to live without the software and not suffer massive migraines. My results were mixed, but incredibly illuminating. Living without Adobe Reader It's incredibly easy to remove this icon from your digital life. Let's get the low-hanging fruit out of the way first. Ditching Adobe Reader is almost shockingly easy. While the software may be synonymous with PDFs, it's far from being the only PDF reader on the block. In fact, just last month I outlined three safer, speedier Reader alternatives after that hackers were actively using.

The alternatives PDF readers outlined in that article—,, and —not only receive much less malicious attention than Adobe's program, they also perform like greased lightning in comparison. I've personally settled on Sumatra PDF for my digital document needs. It may not have many bells or whistles, but geez it's fast, and my PDF reading needs are fairly simple. Nitro PDF is great if you need more features, while Foxit Reader's blend of speed and extras falls somewhere between the other two. All three work like a charm.

Living without Java Java's a bit trickier to abandon. Granted, very few websites use Oracle's software platform on the client side—just 0.2 percent of all sites online,. Desktop programs that require Java are similarly scarce. As a result, there's a strong chance you don't even need Java on your computer. In fact, when I started this headache-free experiment, I was surprised to discover that it wasn't even installed on my primary work PC, which I built in November. Here's the rub, though: The websites and programs that do use Java tend to be very high-profile ones, and they're often mission-critical. As it turns out, many banking and governmental websites rely on Java.

If a website you frequent needs Java, then you have to have Java on your PC—it's as simple as that. Likewise, some pretty popular desktop applications are built atop Oracle's software platform, including the OpenOffice productivity suite, Adobe's Creative Suite 6, and the time-suck that is Minecraft. Minecraft is awesome, but its reliance on Java is not. So most people don't need Java. But if you do, then you really need it. My recommendation? Uninstall it from your computer.

No, seriously, go do it now. If you need Java for a particular website or program, that application will bark at you next time you try to use it—at which point you can quickly reinstall Java. For many people, that bark will never come. And if it comes months down the line when you're visiting a rarely used site, you'll know you can uninstall Java once again when you're done with that particular task. The headache of reinstalling and uninstalling Java once per year is nothing compared to the headache of installing those constant critical patches—or, worse, leaving your computer vulnerable to attack.
