[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1398099"] Let's just review this for a second: 1. If you're running Snow Leopard or Lion, there is no need to disable Java whatsoever. Of course you can still do it if you want to but there is no possibility of your being caught by the Flashback malware (which has been effectively shut down anyway) presuming you've run Software Update. You are already covered. 2. If you are running something older than 10.6, then you may wish to disable Java entirely. Of course, some programs will cease to function if they depend even in part on Java, but anything that will push you to getting more up-to-date is in my view a good idea. [/QUOTE]
