Java applications operate within a form of virtual machine or sand box, protecting your computer from the operations performed by the executed code... unfortunately, there are ways around every system, and you must always make sure that you run Java applets only from trusted sources.

Note: Java and Javascript are not the same thing, and Javascript can more easily be used to compromise your privacy and security without your knowledge.

Oh no! Most viruses that you acquire from the internet are written in Java. I block Java from accessing the Internet and only unblock it if I need it.
