Title: Java Virus doing the rounds?
Post by: Technical Ben on Dec 30, 2010, 18:42:55
My virus scanner has just picked up a Java virus. A bit disconcerting. I have been cleaning some old HDDs out so not sure if it's from an old XP machine. So wondered if anyone has seen any news/reports on anything doing the rounds?
I will probably disable java from my browsers...

Seems an old one. No idea how it got on here. Adverts? (hmmm. Turning off java means no smiley buttons. :P)
