Ron, I'm waiting for one of my sites to complain about the absence of Java in Firefox. Maybe none of them need it.

If you are on a trusted site like your bank, you have no worries
Ron,

I don't think that's correct. The Java exploit security issue allows a malicious site/user to UPLOAD Java Malware to a trusted site without that site being aware of what's happened. Subsequent users will get infected.

This is a nasty one. Java needs to be disabled until it's fixed.

MSSE picked up and quarantined some Java stuff yesterday. And I only went to my most trusted sites. Java is now disabled on my PC. I only hope I was fast enough.

Ian,

So I am not clear on the java thing. If I use Etrade Market Trader and Pro that requires java am I vulnerable? I have the java plugins in Firefox disabled, but when I start my Etrade trading platforms I use IE.
