Basically Java 7 update 10 created a problem... a BIG problem and it has not been fixed by update 11 and may take a long time to get right.
I guess if you have Java 7 update 9 you are OK.
As for me, I went back to Java 6 update 38

Java has always been a software with many exploits and attacking potential. That is well known.
But what's the real point here? The real point here is that this only happens on websites who want to exploit users. But we don't want to do that and never will. So you can use java safely on igpmanager.
This situation is not new and everyone can protect himself by just not visiting sites he doesn't trust.

The problem is while you're using iGP you can't really surf the net because you have Java running. Some might say it's not a big deal, but I know sometimes on those long stints, or tracks like Monaco or Hungeray I'd like to browse around. But I don't trust it.

Is that really true?
I thought the latest Java prompts, per site, on whether you want to use it for that site?
