Okay well I've wondered for a while now, why does java always say that Salem may be a security risk? ^^

Ah dont worry about that nonsense message.

But would you mind moving a bit to your right? Cant quite see all of you through your webcam...


But on a serious note, it's because the Salem application request permission "all" through the Java security so that it can access your files and such (in order to actually play the game properly) which any other regular compiled exe game has permission to by default but Java has to treat everything with white gloves and likes to cause alarm.
