It seems to me that nowadays Java serves no real purpose other than as a malware vector...

Best to keep any Java plugins disabled in browsers IMO, or not even have it installed in the first place.

It's not really needed for much now, in my experience. The only reason I even have Java installed still is that PS3MediaServer uses it.
