The news forum has many posts about the recommendations in the news to disable JAVA because of a widely announced exploit. The problem is that none of these posts mention anything about Malwarebytes' protection against this exploit. I saw a blog this morning saying "you are protected if you ae running Malwarebytes Pro" but the lady gave no testing support for her comment.
Does Malwarebytes Pro protect against current JAVA exploit ?

We will block droppers and active file threats but not actual Java code exploits. You need to uninstall Java and remove all cache from it and if at all possible try to live without Java being on your computer. Java is and has been one of the most prevalently exploited methods to attack your computer.

OK, thanks. I thought the blogger "expert" was writing about something she had no real knowledge about.
