A few days ago my virus scan picked up some Java Exploits so I did a full virus scan and removed them, updated Java and did a full Malwarbytes scan which didn't find anything.
Did another scan yesterday which was clear.
Today it came up with Exploit:Java/CVE-2013-0422.
I have to admit to using both Internet Explorer and Firefox. As far as I'm aware I've only been to legit websites recently (a dangerous assumption I know) and I'm trying to work out where this is coming from and how serious a problem it is. Had a look in Firefox Plugins (for the first time!) and found a warning next to Java Deployment Toolkit that it is "known to be vulnerable" so I've set it to "never activate". The only Extension I have is Download Helper, which I understand to be legit.
Have also now set Java security to very high in the Control Panel. Anything else I should be doing - apart from nuking it from orbit?
