[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1398165, member: 71075"] Disabling applet execution only affects Java applets - client applications will continue to run just fine. As for whether or not it's a good idea, I'd say that given Apple's poor track record ([URL="http://threatpost.com/en_us/blogs/analysis-flashback-spread-social-engineering-then-java-exploits-041912"]they are, on average, two months behind Oracle[/URL]) with regards to releasing timely Java updates, we have enough reasons. In fact, Oracle had this patched months ago. [/QUOTE]
