Hi. I have a person who believes Java and Merk is messing up his computer whenever he installs them for his Paltalk. I know a little about something on everything else. He always ask me how Java and Merk (sp?) could affect his system. I just shrug and say "not too sure on that". I would like to get some info on not how it can mess up a system (don't see why it should), but what Java is and what Merk is and how they are used in the internet and web confrencing. Thanks!
Java - java.sun.com - A programming language used to develope a lot of web applications; needed to view many interactive websites.
mIRC ("merk") - mirc.com - A chat program that has been around forever. IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat. A bit complicated, requiring a knowledge of commands and such to operate.
Java is a object oriented programming language that is commonly used by developers on the internet. Java programs can run stand alone on small computers.
I thought MERK is a some sort of real-time device...and its true! An mIRC
Linear Mode
