For all the forum users have an outdated java version and are vulnerable to such an exploit,
check your java version online and update to the latest: http://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/online/

No, your java is up to date then. If you were not prompted to update. So you know then that you were not vulmerable to that malware exploit code.
Do you realize now how important it is for folks to check that their OS and third party software is fully updated an patched?
