    The problem is that java do update it, but still there is vulnerabilities that the java program have. However not all this vulnerabilities is know to the hacker and the one that java know hacker know about is fixed with the update you mentioned. As far as i know java will come with a new update on 19 february that will fix many vulnerabilities.

    So It is safer but not 100% safe to use yet.

      I have been wondering about this myself M8 and there seems to be a distinct lack of info
      available, certainly for the moment I intend to leave it off in my browser.

            if you dont need it dont use it, or you can use it on only one devise if you have more and let other away from troubles.

                What do people use Java for now days?
                I for now have not used in years but it sits in my pc doing nothing when
                informed of the security breach I uninstalled completely.
                The only people I know who still use Java are those that play Mine craft
                and those that use the Android sdk and for those you don't need Java
                connecting to the internet.
                Java has always been easily exploited so I ask the question why would you
                want reactivate or reinstall Java knowing the security risks?

                  Java is widely used by many platforms and business. Many of the business programs is used by java and some vpn/web access solutions for business use java. The biggest thret is those who use java on bank access, which is really some nasty thing if the hackers get theire hand on some ones bank account through java vulnerabilities. SO java is used by many for diffrence reasons.

                    Any page that needs certificates with emergent windows needs the console java, examples: Department of estate, bank negotiations, etc. And it is in use because it works with any operating system. Not only for applications of telephones android

                      and i also like to say that some sites that make their living for live adds need java to activate them and so you cannot open the page unless you install java. i use it for many years and that is the first problem i found until today.
