So about all those virus updates

We all hate those "time to update your flash player" messages and microsoft security updates but.....

The Cyber war is real.

We've talked about who writes a lot of the viruses. it might just be foreign governments.

Unless and until Sun gets compromised keep applying them. They're trying to make Java better and more secure.

I can envision in the not too distant future either a world wide web which is no longer world wide or separate network infrastructures for vital US interests (military, power grid, etc).
