Wait a minute! Aren't we supposed to block it?
I am on 10.6.8.
The exploit is in Java 7 only, not Java 6.

10-4.

Here's what I get in Terminal:
Java -version
No Java runtime present, requesting install.
Basically the same as Java Preferences.

you don't have it installed; this is the 10.7 and 10.8 default.

Do I need it and if so why ?

if you've been using your Mac and have not been prompted to install it, then you don't need it.
if you want to use Java-based applications, like Crashplan or JDownloader, you will need it.
try going without it & see how you fare.

So if I installed Java 7 I'm screwed?

You just need to update it.

Sweet ! Thanks Decay. As I said so far so good, this little 13" MBA i5 rocks just like it is.
