Yes, it's just been spotted this morning. As it's a java applet the simple
answer is to increase the security settings in your browser or not to let
Java applets run without permission. There are very few around these days
anyway. I have to run a few for remote consoles but they tend to download
rather than run and I manually start them from javaws.
