Have any of you disabled Java on your computer? I heard about the problem on a radio broadcast and found this article.

I never downloaded the latest update - the irritating reminder is blinking every time my computer starts up. When I began to install it, it said I may have to disable cookies and I don't recall any other updates from them requiring I do that, so I was leery of doing it.

I'm not exactly computer savvy, so could some of you experts comment? Thanks!
