I'm curious - does anyone notice that they are using web sites or services that use Java applets? Should we be recommending that people uninstall Java altogether?
Honestly, I think it has been months since the last time I launched Java (when not actually writing Java code).The problem is with the constant security holes that are found in Java. Malware and spyware creators are exploiting these security holes, which means that regular users need to keep updating their Java installs or risk becoming a victim of these exploits.
But if we're not even using Java, why bother? Let's just remove the buggy software and be done with it. See Canuck's comment below for instructions.
