Just a short note. JAVA got a new security breach. It fucked up the pc from someone I know well and he had to reinstall windows to get rid of the PC Lock down virus he got infected with. He lsot all he had on the C: drive.
Some modders may use Java, if you do update the damn thing or you might lose your stuff.

Cool story bro. Oracle hasn't released an update that fixes the breach. Quite the contrary, the newest version of JRE is actually the only version that is currently confirmed to have this issue. So how about just disabling Java in your browser if you use something like Firefox or Chrome, or otherwise just remove it entirely?

Cool story bro. Its quite the contrary, all versions have this and other issues.
Indeed update wont do it, one got to disable it in the browser.

Reminds me of C&C4 I patched that game with the uninstaller.

Having anything personal on drive C: is bad. Always have a separate Partition D for that and only install programs on C if they need registry crap. Most Programs however work portable and can be simply copied on D

Create an image of Partition C right after you've set up a fresh windows installed everything necessary. DriveImage XML does that job nice. Store the image on Partition D. When windows fucks up again, simply restore the image. 5-10min image restore against 2-3 hours windows install.

JavaScript has nothing to do with Java. To disable Java, go into your browser add-ons and disable it. Or, you can also uninstall it from Control Panel -> Programs and Features (assuming that's what it is in English Windows, I'm running Finnish).

Java is one of the most exploited programs because of its large number of vulnerabilities found each year and because it's installed on probably most of Windows PCs. So, I would either uninstall it (if it's not needed) or keep eye on it being up-to-date. I'd have nuked it a long time ago from my systems if my bank wouldn't use it for some security-related stuff.

From the article on MSN that I read all Java versions are at risk. And there is no fix for it yet. So if you have any personal info on your computer i'd disable it until the fix is available.

Is your internet living in the past? Because this was just posted today in the news my good sir. I think you need to review your search on this topic. and there is at the moment, NO FIX

But it does say directly installed versions on servers and desktops need not to worry and its only in the JDK7 version.

according to Oracle if your running version 7, then no. But says it will be shortly. How shortly that will be I have no idea.

Depends on if its the same issue I'm thinking of that basically required the same steps to be taken eight months ago. If it is, then this is nothing new.
However the fix part is fairly new, and very welcomed news.

These security issues only applies to Applet. For those who play Minecraft or other non-browser stuff, you have nothing to worry about.

From what I understand a FIX is now available.

Oracle said installing its "Update 11" will fix the problem.

Update 11's changelog is composed of only that one report I already linked to. And yes I pointed out in the following post of mine the same. #Tongue
