Critical Java zero-day bug is being “massively exploited in the wild”
Your fully patched installation of Java isn't safe. Quote: A previously unknown and currently unpatched security hole in the latest version of the Java software framework is under attack online, according to security researchers and bloggers. Source

Lucked Out
I have lucked out so far. The only site I really needed it for had an alternate solution.
Borg is this possible?
Set up a browser for your academics. Then use another browser for surfing, etc.
This might work until Java catches up with the real world. Ideally web sites will go away from Java. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number BGC (Bob's Garage Crew)

Actually, I'm using something called QuickJava (For FF), recommended to me by someone in this forum a while back. It sits on your bottom browser bar & you can shut it off & on with just a click instead of having to go digging through the settings. Quote: Allows quick enable and disable of Java, Javascript, Cookies, Image Animations, Flash, Silverlight, Images, Stylesheets and Proxy from the Statusbar and/or Toolbar. Still, I wish I could take Java off..... | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell Hell oh Well

Welcome to Seven Forums KREJAN81.
I had one downloader program that doesn't work without it, but I rarely used it. GoToMyPC even works without it, you just have to launch it manually. A Guy | | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Home Premium x64 SP1

Does this threat only apply to browsers? I've disabled Java in Firefox, but I also use Vuze which apparently uses Java. Is it safe to use Vuze? Thanks. | | My System Specs | | Critical Java zero-day bug is being “massively exploited in the wild” problems? All times are GMT -5. The time now is 05:28 AM. |  |
