We have been made aware of a vulnerability in all versions of Java that is currently being used to install malicious software on any Windows PC with Java runtime installed.
At this time our recommended action is to uninstall Java from all workstations.
Although this will break functionality on any websites, even non-malicious or trusted ones, it is the only way to properly secure your workstations from being infected.
If you need access to Java enabled websites for normal day-to-day operations we recommend only going to business critical websites with workstations that still have Java installed. Casual browsing is not recommended, even on popular websites.
All Common Focus customers are being alerted of the threat through email. Please respond to the email to have Java uninstalled automatically from all workstations.
As soon as a patch is released we will update this blog.
Update:
Many people have been asking for instructions on how to remove Java.
The official documentation can be found on Oracle's site here:
