Which Java 8 version do I choose to download?

It says I need to update Java but the automatic link takes me only to download 7.51 which I already have. I know there are links to Java 8 but I am not tech savvy enough to work out which version. Usually I need to download both a 32 bit and 64 bit version. Can anyone help me with specific download links or information please. Thanks in advance.

You don't need to do anything since Java 7 Update 51 is not vulnerable (afaik) and is the recommended version offered at http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp and http://www.java.com/en/download/

If you check the "Do I have Java?" link at http://www.java.com/en/download/ and run the Java Detection applet it will tell you that you have the recommended Java installed (Version 7 Update 51).

Related bugs:

  • Bug 985968 - Mozilla Plugin check page displays Java plugin as vulnerable even if the latest version is installed.
  • Bug 985056 - Java JDK 8 released

Should it not go to to the latest version available though when clicking the link to update?

Ideally it should do but there are faults at present and it is not working as intended.

See this Java help page for more information:
