Because, Java applets & applications will not be saved to a file unless the Control Panel preferences are configured allowing them to be - or at least that's the way I understand it. By disabling cacheing and setting application storage to 0 MBs, Java applets and applications residing in RAM, are overwritten with new data, or flushed when the computer is shut down. I went to the site with the malicious Java applet, as far as I can tell nothing bad has made it on to my computer. I'll investigate a little deeper and make sure. _______________________________________________ Mozilla-security mailing list Mozilla-security@mozilla.org http://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/mozilla-security
