Microsoft: Update Java or kill it

Microsoft has decided is enough is enough: Java-based malware sees no end and it’s time to do something about it. The software giant points to two type-confusion vulnerabilities (CVE-2012-0507 and CVE-2012-1723) that have been very actively exploited in recent months. Redmond thus wants you to do one of three things: update Java, disable it, or uninstall it.
