Q: Do I re-enable Java plug-in in Safari after Flashback Removal Security update.
I received this update:
Flashback Removal Security update. After installing the following info came up.
This update removes the most common variants of the Flashback malware. If the Flashback malware is found, a dialog will notify you that malware was removed. In some cases, the update may need to restart your computer in order to completely remove the Flashback malware.
To improve the security of your Mac, this update also disables the Java plug-in in Safari. For instructions on how to re-enable it, please visit:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5241.
My question is: Do I leave disabled or do I re-enable it? Not sure what is the right thing to do.
iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Leave it as disabled unless and until you need Java for a particular web site. Very few use it. Leave Java Script enabled as this is something completely different.
