How to Ward Off Flashback and Its Cousins

I've been getting a lot of questions from friends and neighbors about Flashback and its derivitives. Since these bugs made the mainstream media, even the most non-techie Mac user is getting the jitters. I planned to write a comprehensive how-to to help these folks avoid all these Java-based bugs, but while doing my research I ran across this article by Cory Bohon at Mac|Life that sums it up completely. I could have plagerized his article, but I'm too ethical (er, uh, lazy) for that. To get a complete step-by-step for protecting your Mac from Flashback and other Java-based vermine, check out Cory's article. Nice job, Mr. Bohon.
