Granted, that might be atypical for average home users, but it's not uncommon for tech professionals and business users who rely on communications software like GoToMeeting. A surprising amount of stuff is written with the Java environment in mind.

I know... but again, more evidence against this large number of infected Macs. Java is just not required for most home users and would not be installed unless they installed something that required it. People confabulate Javascript a mere scripting approach to using that calls from a library of pre-packaged system commands with Java... a sophisticated programing language. They are not one and the same.

Java is required to play one of the most popular games on the internet—minecraft. In fact, I think that’s the ONLY way you can play it on a Mac is via Java. With windows you have two options—exe and java. Odd thing is the java version runs better. My kids play it—I don’t like it so I don’t know all the details. But I did setup a server for them and it requires Java as well. Once again on windows it’s easy...just run the server exe file open port...redirect port with NETSH command.
