It's is set of by sites that are trying to CHANGE THE HOMEPAGE and/or AUTO-BOOKMARK!

"In many cases, the applet may perform simple actions, such as changing your Internet Explorer home page."

Those bastards...

Download the Microsoft patch from http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/TechNet/security/b ulletin/ms00-081.asp

It sets off my anti-virus too.

JS.Exception.Exploit is an exploit which allows unpatched systems to run arbitrary code if a Java applet that was programmed to take advantage of the exploit is allowed to run. In many cases, the applet may perform simple actions, such as changing your Internet Explorer home page. It can also be programmed to run code to perform a mass mailing, as in the case of VBS.Loding.A@mm.
