Switched to non-oracle java... all good here.

For windows... you can build your own using OpenJDK. This link says you can do it with free tools. (A big plus in the M$ world)
Otherwise, I believe you're stuck. M$ is my second operating system though, so I may be wrong... linux being my main. You have the option of OpenJDK or IBM's JVM on linux... only took 2 minutes to change mine.

Theres a new update for Java. Version 7 update 11 build 1.7.0_11-b21 for WinXP. For other systems it may be different. It addresses this problem or at least its supposed to. May be better than removing Java ?
Update !!!
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security warned that a security update of Oracle Corp's Java software for Web browsers does not do enough to protect computers from attack, sticking to its previous advice that the program be disabled.
"Unless it is absolutely necessary to run Java in web browsers, disable it," the Department of Homeland Security's Computer Emergency Readiness Team said on Monday in a posting on its website.

Unfortunately many security experts have already shot the new update down and are still recommending disabling or removing.

I used to have Java installed because I knew I was using it in various ways. After this thread got my attention I realized I wasn't sure I was using it at all anymore. Decided to uninstall it and see if I ran into any "Requires Java" messages from something I wanted to do. So far, nothing.
It's always better NOT to have software installed that you don't use. It can be a security hole or it can slow the system down for no reason. We'll see what happens. I used to need to know this stuff.

I disabled Java over 2 years ago and not once have I hit a web site that gave me a pop-up. Not one single time.
The security issues with Java go back a long, long time and has been discussed on tech boards in-depth for a long, long time.

You guys are the best!

and in most cases they are java haters in those forums. there are a ton of pastey skinny wristed coders who absolutely hate java and will hate on it anytime they can. so if there is a flaw, they shit on it asap.
most used language still is java, and it gets better and better.
anyhow, u asshats who are like omfg disable. im willing to bet some of u same folks have facebook, u know that site? where people take photos of turkey burgers and make useless comments about nothing. imo uninstall if u are worried. cause other than that, your info has already been had friends.
and the turds in the same camp, probably post grow shows ya? but hey disable your java LOL
