It's the Java Applet plugin that makes Java look ugly. This part of it is the same as Flash. Things happen all day. Patches happen all day.

That is the Java Development Kit. The exploit concerns the Java Runtime Environment (JRE). You should update your JDK anyways.

I got Jre-6u20 & Jre-6u21? It said only Java 7 users should update, I'm still using 6 ...

Where did you read that only Java 7 users should update...? As far as I've read, there's been no reporting if the exploit affects Java 6. Either way you should update to the latest version... Updates are pushed out to increase stability and security. Using outdated software is what leads to malware.

I'd definitely update to the latest JRE6 anyhow. 20 & 21 are way behind.

I know, just lazy, but thanks for the suggestion.

I would just say stay away from sites you haven't been on before for now​

and just stick to the sites that are trusted such as Facebook,Devbest,Twitter,etc..​
