For Your Protection

RouteGadget does its magic using the Java client on your computer. The Java client has been found repeatedly to have security problems, which could allow a hacker to take control of your computer (to steal passwords without your knowledge, for example).

To be safe:

  • Keep current with updates to your operating system.
    • In Windows, run "Windows Update." 
    • On Macs, run "Software Update."
  • Keep your Java client current.
    • In Windows, verify your Java version and update if advised to do so.
    • On Macs, Java updates are incorporated into "Software Update."
  • Enable Java in your browser only when you need it (such as to use RouteGadget); otherwise, disable Java.
