Java Exploit CVE-2012-0507 keeps appearing in scan results!

After updating Java from the Oracle website the next time I did a full scan in MS SE it threw up this potential threat and I removed it. A week later a full scan threw it up again. Is my copy of Java corrupt?

I probably wouldn't hurt to remove it & reinstall it. More information here:

You could also have some older versions of Java on your system that are vulnerable to infection. Make sure you are running the latest version and be sure to remove all older versions.

Download Java for Windows Firefox

The latest version is Ver 7 update 5.

JavaRa is a simple tool that does a simple job: it removes old and redundant versions of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE). Simply select “Check for Updates” or “Remove Older Version” to begin. JavaRa is free under the GNU GPL version two.

Thanks - I have reloaded Jave and will do a scan to see if Java Exploit is on board or not.
