I always avoided putting the Java runtime on my computer - I have had nothing but trouble in the past.
2 days ago I found this site that needed it - I thought fuck it - They must have improved it after all this time.
Like hell - 2 days later everything grinds to a halt and I do a scan and I have 2 'extreme' threat trojans on my system - The first I have had in a year or more.
Both of them are Java exploits
