Note that it may ruin your browsing experience, however, with too many popups. On Internet Explorer, you have to open Internet Options -> Security -> Internet and set the Security level for this zone to HIGH so that you are prompted every time a website attempts to run a script. The procedure varies from browser to browser. I get many questions on how to disable JavaScript. The former is a programming language requiring a compiler, while the JavaScript is just ASCII (or text, as we call it).
Java is from Oracle while the latter JavaScript is from Netscape Inc. Wait, there is a huge difference between Java and JavaScript. The problem starts when many chose to, knowingly or unknowingly, disable JavaScript in their browser. Firefox came up with a patch that checks websites before allowing them to run Java. Apple, on the other hand, quietly disabled Java without informing its users. With the emergence of social media as a major information sharing tool, this particular Java exploit was hyped to an extent that many chose to uninstall Java from their machines.
Sun, and later, Oracle has been keeping up by releasing one or more patch for Java each time in the past too. There is a lot of noise around saying – uninstall or disable Java – as it is vulnerable. Studying the topic, I found almost all versions have gone through similar exploits in the past.
