Thankyou Rayna

I read there that the only way to disable Java was via that Java Control Panel.

But, under the security tab I only have a sentence about certificates. It doesn't look anything like the Control panel in the instruction and no way to de-select.

Any ideas? Anyone?

I have the same issue as yours Terpe. But that's because you have a previous version of Java. I still have version 6 update 37. The exploit issue is from Java version 7 update 10. Check for what version you have.
