Java Applets
Call me paranoid, but what exactly do 'Java applets' do when they download themselves from websites?
I seem to have no control over whether they do or not, some are presumably ok as they are on bank account sites, but others appear on sites I visit.
When they download, up pops the 'Java Consloe' in my System tray. What happens to the applets when I leave the relevant site? Can they be harmful?
