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? ___ Mozilla-security mailing list Mozilla-security@mozilla.org http://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/mozilla-security

But the source code produced wouldn't be Java, would it? It would probably be some assembler-looking type of code, right? (which would be rather difficult to read and trace). Do you know of any decompiler that would, in effect, convert a .class file back to a .java file? ___ Mozilla-security mailing list Mozilla-security@mozilla.org http://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/mozilla-security

How to shut down the Java applets process?
When I visit a website that uses applets, the Java coffee-cup icon shows up in the system tray. When I right click on the icon, the only choices are ... About Java Technology, Go to Java.com, Open Control Panel, Hide Console, Hide Icon. Even when I left the website, the Java icon was still in the system tray. Only when I shut down the browser did the icon finally vanish. Is there a way to shut down the applet process *without* exiting the browser? __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
