Hi Bill- Curtis and Johannes suggested very sensible approaches.
I believe this is what you are referring to, and this clearly says to disable Java in your web browser: http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/625617 Cheers, Jason -------------------- Centre for Gene Regulation & Expression | Open Microscopy Environment | University of Dundee Phone: +44 (0) 1382 385819 email: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Web: http://www.lifesci.dundee.ac.uk/gre/staff/jason-swedlow Open Microscopy Environment: http://openmicroscopy.org<http://openmicroscopy.org/> From: <Mohler>, William <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Date: Friday, 11 January 2013 20:41 To: Jason Swedlow <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>>, "[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: Re: [ImageJ-devel] What about this huge Java security issue?? How do we keep ImageJ users both safe and satisfied with a Java platform? I'm hoping just what you're thinking. But the press here is telling people to "uninstall java" as the only certain way to avoid having their systems hacked. This is now backed by an announcement by US Dept of Homeland Security that there is no other recourse... Not easy stuff to deal with, right or wrong.
