Have you got the source for this?
Reason I ask is…. Java updates I beleive are only released quarterly but due to a suspected security breach they made the unusual decision to release an update sooner than planned….

A vunerability in Java was being exploited by a few hackers but as of 30th August's update that has been closed off.
If malware has been hiden in a java download folder, as these are sometimes deliberately excluded from scanning as safe places, then it can look like a "java" file is a virus when in fact it is just hiding behind java. |
