I read that people usually download the latest java updates and never think about removing the old java off their computers, so you might look in your program list and see several hundred megabytes of old java which has, as my friend bloodtippedwing alerted me, the capability to be exploited and to contaminate your operating system.
What I have done is to go to SUN and download the Java Runtime Environment 6 update 12, uninstall my old java version and install the new one. I'm a lot lighter and less vulnerable to exploits, and I can see my beautiful java lake applets. :) Yay!
