It was captured on my system as a VIRUS..
JAVA is one of those IE, UNPROTECTED AREAS..

From another site:

"These things will do you no harm on a fully patched system with Sun Java. They were actually designed to exploit the old MS VM for Java. Just clear out your Sun Java cache and they will be gone."

Thats fine, but IE still has MS Java..
Also there is an ActiveX vulnerability that leads into Java..
Leaving something like this only invites someone to activate it, maybe in another way..
KNOWing that Java can be infected, is good for those who want protection..

Yup, I agree, and the sooner the MS Java VM is a distant memory the better.

IT SHOULD NEVER have been given BIRTH...
there are STILL sites that cant be viewed, properly, except with IE and VM...Its a shame that so many jumped on the MS band wagon..
