The ZScaler test now says my installation of Java 7.0.07 (1.7.0_07) is not vulnerable.
I do not know where the http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7...t-java-update/ leaves things. It says the data so far is only a Proof of Concept and is not so concerned.
If you don't need Java then you might consider simply uninstalling it. If you do though, but you're still not comfortable with any version 7 of Java, the well-tested "Version 6 Update 35" is still available for download.
Personally, I stopped using Java at least 5 years ago, and I've never missed it at all. In the unlikely event that I find I ever do need it for something I'll install it in a virtual machine. At least that way it will be sandboxed.
