1322344 2013-01-10 23:53:00 I have had it disabled on all PCs here since the last round of vulnerabilities which
were unsuccessfully patched by Oracle.

It is a mess.

Firefox 17 onwards has click-to-play for plugins, but I'm not sure if it means you're safe from such vulnerabilities.

1322346 2013-01-11 03:30:00 The questions should be - why is it that its only being brought up now, and people are being warned. Most of the security companies as well as Oracle have known about since it was discovered last year August 22nd ?

Why haven't Oracle patched it yet ?

1322349 2013-01-11 05:28:00 Soooo.... what do I need to disable?

Just Java?
Or Java Scripts
Or Both?

TIA

1322350 2013-01-11 07:24:00 Java and Java Scripts are two different things.

Just Java. If you come across sites that no longer work then just enable it for that site then disable again.
