Below a cut & paste with my computer guy's phone deleted... Security Bulletin ALERT This is Paul from Paul's Computer Repair with a very important security bulletin. You need to take action and do the steps below to disable JAVA on your computer. A new problem has been found with JAVA, which most people have on their computer.

JAVA != Adobe.
Although, MANY other applications use JRE for their functionality. Sun should have an update soon...

It's a java vulnerability. Just ran a report against 411 servers yesterday so we know what we have to remediate.
