click expand...

if installed os x lion or bought new (if got new mac) , never installed java, you're in clear in terms of catching new trojan.

if upgraded os x lion snow leopard, may have java. believe came preinstalled in snow leopard.

in case, don't have java. it's not installed/enabled. need if run java apps. make sure java not enabled in safari if want use standalone apps.

safari>preferences>security>unclick "enable java"
