Default OT - But Important: Really Nasty Web Security Problem Found

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/08...block_exploit/


If you are running Windows, check which browser you are running
and TURN OFF JAVA. You can research how to do this for whatever
browser (Microsoft Explorer, Google Chrome, or Firefox) you're using
by Googling for instructions. If you do not know how to do
this (you probably shouldn't be on the web at all), ask
someone who does.

If you're using a Mac, you still turn off Java because the same
thing can be used to attack Macs.

When you turn off Java it means that certain web sites will not
work properly because they depend on it. If you are 100% certain
the site is OK, then turn Java on just for that one site.

This will not go away until Java itself is upgraded.
