    What's perhaps more disturbing is that most of the reported JVM 
    vulnerabilities weren't fixed yet and an Applet can still execute 
    arbitrary code by exploiting the remaining ones. So even with the patch, 
    enabling MS's Java for IE and the Internet Zone isn't a good idea right 
    now.
