[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1487182"] Lots of bad info here. Please read this and get the real story: [url=http://www.macnn.com/articles/13/01/11/blacklist.requires.unreleased.version.of.java.for.plugin.to.work/]Apple quietly blocks Java 7 in OS X [U] | MacNN[/U][/url][U] Please note the following: 1. The Java BROWSER PLUG-IN is affected by this problem. Not a Java installation. 2. No viruses. Still. 3. Fix coming Tuesday. If you're not using Safari or Firefox as your browser, manually disable Java in your browser for a few days. And, since this is not the first time this has happened and almost certainly will not be the last, ask yourself how reliant you are on Java and maybe reconsider turning it back on if you can get by without it (most Mac users do and aren't even aware they are not running it).[/u] [/QUOTE]
