BTW

I'll just try to simplify
Opera browser
(Version 12.12 Build 1707)
On the Menu ...
Tools>Advanced>Plugins
Firefox Version 18.0
and
Comodo IceDragon Version 18.0.1.0
On the Menu ...
Tools>Addons>Plugins
Chrome Version 24.0.1312.52.m
and
Comodo Dragon Version 23.4.0.0
( I rarely use these, browsers but it's SETTINGS>EXTENSIONS)
Infernal Exploder ...
Probably something like ...
On Menu
Tools>Manage Addons (If you get drop down box, check ALL addons instead of currently loaded)

Firefox has already black listed All Java plugins.
I am disabling all Java on my machines. I will uninstall them all.

Maybe I'm jaded or something, but I'm always highly suspicious when the government tells me to do something for my own safety... :totap:

I got the same message from Mozilla for firefox. The exploit is being used and it is open-wide breach.
