Important tip for Windows and Linux users
I already mnetioned that you need to install a new version of the "Java runtime environment" if you're running Linux or some Windows systems.
The official advisories seem to be leaving out an important detail. You have to uninstall the old version or you could still be vulnerable. In Windows, you go to the Start menu, click Settings, click Control Panel, choose Add/Remove Programs, and look for something like "Java 2 Runtime Environment SE, v1.4.2_03". If you've got something like that, click Remove.
