    Basically what it says, it stops Java and other scripts automatically running within web pages. Some of these are used to attack/compromise your PC, although the vast majority are benign..

    It may stop you viewing some sites properly, but you can fiddle around with it, to allow which sites are trusted etc...(apparently, I don't yet use it myself)

    I do use it. It's a bit annoying at first, because you have to independently allow all of your trusted sites (those that use Java, at least), but that requires only two clicks and afterwards everything works as normal. I didn't pick up anything from yesterdays problems, or at least Spybot SD and Windows Defender didn't find anything.

    Exclamation Re: .org back up

    Wow, people got malware from that? Worms and viruses? Eeeek. Oh, well, nothing Kaspersky cannot stop. I keep Kaspersky disabled, as it soaks up hefty amount of memory even with my 4GB of RAM. I then scan my computer every two weeks. Better do an early scan now.

    I'm using firefox+avast! Which seems to work well for me, although it didn't pick up a adware that Ad-aware did which was a worrying.
