Latest Java Update. They sure have been busy this year (especially for this one)!

If you use Java, as my job requires me to, then it's time for another Java Update.
Apparently, this time, they plugged 42 security holes in Java, 19 with base CVE score of 10 (the highest you can go) and 39 related to the Java Web Start plugin which can be remotely exploited without authentication.
That almost makes it sound safe now, doesn't it?
If you are somewhat new to this, don't forget to uncheck the Ask.com option at the appropriate point, or else you are going to get some crapware installed on your computer (if it's not already there). Like I told a friend of mine, I think the Java department of Oracle is going to be sending Ask.com Christmas cards this year (due to all the revenue Ask.com must be sending Oracle's way for all the sneaky installations they are slipping onto people's computers along with each new Java patch).
