Recently received a warning that java in one's web browser can cause "Hell and Damnation"
to be rained down upon one's P.C.
This is the supposed route of the virus that attacked Apple a couple of days or so ago.
Is this good information or the anal droppings of a cud chewing ruminant?

Run windows update and anti-virus update on a regular schedule.
Disable java.
To unplug Java:
In Firefox, select "Tools" from the main menu, then "Add-ons," then click the "Disable" button next to any Java plug-ins.
In Safari, click "Safari" in the main menu bar, then "Preferences," then select the "Security" tab and uncheck the button next to "Enable Java."
In Chrome, type or copy "Chrome://Plugins" into your browser's address bar, then click the "Disable" button below any Java plug-ins.
In Internet Explorer, follow these instructions for disabling Java in all browsers via the Control Panel. There is no way to completely disable Java specifically in IE.
