    New Version of Java

    Oracle has just release a new version of Java, due to security concerns in earlier versions. Please install the current version after uninstalling the version in current use.
    Download Free Java Software
    The above link is the only currently available source of the updated software.

    Security researchers from Poland-based security firm Security Explorations
    claim to have discovered a vulnerability in the Java 7 security update released
    Thursday that can be exploited to escape the Java sandbox and execute arbitrary
    code on the underlying system.

    I have disabled my Java, since it was used very rarely. My last use was to check out the world clock website.

    Thanks for the heads-up. I disabled my Java after updating to 7-7 and will keep Java disabled.

    Especially if using IE, make sure it is disabled. With IE regardless on the information on how to disable, it cant be done. I had to uninstall.
    Verify Java Version
    Per Google other browsers are much easier to disable than IE, but test to be sure.

    Java can't be disabled in IE9. In IE8 it can. That's my understanding.

    Yes, I've tested it and Java is disabled. Thanks. Unfortunately, Java can't be disabled in IE9 from what I've read.
