My layout with a Java Applet displays a Security Warning.

After Java 7 Update 11, your security settings may have gone to "High" by default, and you are seeing this dialog with an unsigned java app. Check the box "Do not show this again for this app"

 

 

Java Security Warning Workaround

Due to security measures implemented in the latest version of Java (version 7 update 11) many Pogo Java games may be asking you permission to run before they load.

With a few quick mouse clicks you should be able to bypass these messages and prevent them from appearing in the future.

When you see a window that looks like this when loading a Pogo game:

Click on the “Do not show this again for this app” check-box on the bottom left and then hit the “Run” button.  Note that this may appear as many as 7 times the first time, and again once or twice on other Pogo games. Once you’ve gone through the process with all Pogo’s game types, you should not see the security warning window pop up again when you are on Pogo.
