Even disabling Java plugin won't stop it - can Opera do anything?
XP Pro SP3; 1GB RAM; Avast! AV; Comodo F/W; always the latest Opera!
As I understand it the flaw isn't in the Java VM but in a component added to make it easier for developers to deploy applications (not applets) via the Internet. This is a separate plugin from the one used to applets, and can be disabled in Opera by adding npdeploytk.dll to your plugin-ignore.ini file. From everything I've read this should prevent exploitation via Opera.
