Though the process is a way of distributing malware (malicious programs) are powerful. So perhaps we need to temporarily disable the Java application on the computer.
This step is the emergency measures taken to avoid the spread of malware by exploiting loopholes in the latest version of Java (version 1.7, Update 6.). Eset Researchers have also confirmed that the black hole is behind the use of the loopholes in Java.
Here are shown some solution to prevent your computer being attacked by malware, which has been spread in some regions by exploiting loopholes in Java. The first layer of defense is to turn off or disable Java in your browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, and Internet Explorer).
Gaps CVE-2012-4681 which is now rife day zero forces the user to temporarily use Java in the browser. If it still exists, or even just updated to the new version, still, better off first. How to make sure you get the version that has been patched after a warning of an effort that tries to bypass the browser you are using.
1. Disabling Java in Google Chrome
Google Chrome mention Java in the system as a 'plug-in' and to disable Java in Google Chrome you can access the plug-in settings by going to the 'chrome :/ / plugins "in the address field (without the quotes) as shown in pictures the following:
2. Disabling Java in Firefox
The Firefox browser also categorizes Java as a plugin, so to Disable done through Add-ons Manager, as shown in the screenshot below.
The Firefox browser also categorizes Java as a plugin, so to Disable done through Add-ons Manager, as shown in the screenshot below.
You can go to the Firefox Add-ons Manager by clicking the button at the top of the browser (use the Tools menu if you use Firefox on OS Windows XP), and then click Add-ons. Then the Add-ons Manager tab will appear. Select the Plugins panel in the Add-ons Manager tab. You will probably find that Java in the Firefox browser on the Windows OS can be disabled by using the Windows Control Panel. But given how unreliable it then do not do it through the Windows Control Panel.
3. Disabling Java in Safari
Instructions for disabling Java in Safari browser on Mac OS can be found on Apple's support service. If you use Safari on Windows OS, non-activation step can be done by going to edit from the main menu (press the Alt key to display the menu), then select. Step it displays a dialog box (or press Control and coma simultaneously).

To note is that Java is emerging malware infiltrated Java version 1.7, which may not be installed on a Mac computer. Most of the Mac using Lion or Lion Mountain that can run Java version 1.6.
Java version 1.6 is not affected by the problem of accidental gap is emerging. Apple also does not impose version 1.7 for use by customers. To be running Java version 1.7 can only be done through the installation process itself. But to avoid the risk to be safe, better Java are disabled on your computer once in a while.
4. Disabling Java in Opera
You can easily log in and change settings in the browser plug-in Opera browser by going to 'about: plugins' in the address bar (without the quotes) to bring up a screen similar to the following:
5. Disabling Java in Internet Explorer
Disabling Java is somewhat difficult given the importance of the application, but the message that was circulated by the US-CERT issues related to Java, especially about gaps VU # 636312:
"Disabling the Java Plug-in in the browser Internet Explorer much more complicated than in other browsers. There are several ways to invoke Java applets, and perform configure the Java Plug-in support".
But the practice is more complicated because one of the ways that happens a lot is known to disable Java in IE is to use the Programs section of the Control Panel in Windows 7, which was often fail.
While the instructions given by the US-CERT is rather confusing for most users, so if you encounter any confusion and are not familiar with editing the registry, it is much better if you seek help.
Do not use IE for a while until you can disable Java in IE browser, and do not make IE as the default browser as malware is activated via the default browser even if not being used. Then you can change the default browser to another browser for a while.

Remove Java Overall
Removing Java from our computers could be one solution to the problem as well but then, there are certain applications based on Java. OpenOffice example, applications that used to work as LibreOffice. So that would have posed a new problem simply by removing Java from the computer.
