    Default Java security issue??

    So what is the deal with the Java security issue?

    How would a non IT guy know if his system was at risk??

    I don't even know what the heck Java is and if we use it!

    TIA

    See that is what I was thinking!

    My dad called me in a panic that I had to do something about this Java right away and had had finished the Coffee Pot this morning before 10am?!?!?

    Disable java in your web browser. the threat is malicious java code imbedded in websites.

    FYI: Oracle (who owns JAVA) released a patch this morning. Go to www.java.com and you can install the update.
