There's a way to take out any risks associated with applets that's built into the Java Control Panel settings, however.
Launch the Control Panel, disable Java applet cacheing. As a added precaution, set Temporary Internet Files storage to 0 MBs. That way nothing, Java applications or applets, will be saved on disk.
If you visit a webpage that runs a malicious Java applet, it'll do its dirty deed whether there's a cache or not, wouldn't it? So how would the absence of a cache help you?
Cache has indeed nothing to do with it.
Java on the web is sandboxed. It can't access any other programs or your harddrive without you giving explicit permission (unlike ActiveX).
