Jay,

Could you elaborate on what major security problems are introduced to
Windows because of the presence of Java/JVM?

I use the JVM on windows and am interested in what security problems
exist in Java/JVM versions in current use on Windows.
I am not interested in the history of resolved problems.

This is a sincere request for information, not bait for a debate.
