on the pc you un install and re install but i dont know if the mac
works the same.

also macs are pretty much immune to viruses since all the viruses are
being written for pc microsoft has all the exploits and holes.

macs may be able to run some java i doubt it can be able to run the
exploits because explorer is not tied to the os on a mac like it is on
windows.
