The easiest solution I have found: Turn off scripting in the browser
for the internet zone. ALL SCRIPTING.

99.99% of sites have no good reasons whatsoever of using java
to begin with.

I only put a few trusted sites in the 'safe' zone.

The rest are in the 'internet' zone, and 'no java' for these.

The side benefit is that you don't have to install any other source of bugs
on your box.

Works like a charm.
