So what? Even the free anti-virus clients would have caught most of the exploits because the exploits are designed to install common trojans rather than being the backdoor themselves.

The JRE is no more of a "chronic" security problem than any other standard software. Its only main issue is that it's more easily reverse-engineerable than other high-level languages (vars & strings are written right into the bytecode, even when they're parameterized...).

Good PSA, but perhaps keep your opinions founded in fact next time.
