Security Alerts Home Computers - DISABLE JAVA NOW! - Governments, Media, Experts Warn Zero-Hour Hacker Attack

     Saturday, 12 January 2013, REDWOOD SHORES, CALIFORNIA - Another major "zero hour" security alert has been announced by various government and media sources for all Java users on all platforms and browsers. Readers should find instructions for disabling Java, purchased by Oracle Corporation and since suffering many breaches most recently in another believed "ransom" hacker attack, by searching the term "disable Java" on readers' preferred search engines or combinations thereof.
     This follows on the announcement of a hacker attack on Facebook seeking to dupe users into giving up private information in response to a fake message to users purporting to be from Facebook's security detail. Information on this should also be readily available on Ninth Amendment readers' favorite search engines or combinations thereof.
     Otherwise the past year has seen a spate of near-hysterical "security alerts" from corporations which once made their money largely unknown to purchasers of, particularly, Windows programs paying Microsoft to "bundle" their software with new Windows releases, often making it extremely difficult for less knowledgeable consumers to safely disentangle this hysteria-based software from installations of new operating programs without damaging those programs or rendering them virtually unusable. These techniques of "bundling" were most often connected in the "security" realm with corporations such as Norton and Symantec.
     AOL is still notorious amongst programmers for "bundling" unwanted software by paying software companies to virtually inextricably intertwine its unwanted software with already purchased products such that disentangling it, particularly from computer registries, proved a monumental task in which the slightest slip in hours long procedures by expert programmers could forever render the underlying already-purchased software useless. Leading one to wonder who indeed were the "good" guys and who the "bad". The United States Department of Justice Antitrust Division as well as Microsoft itself ended some of these problems by introducing free security software which in many cases is anyway better and free, such as Microsoft Security Essentials. Thousands of others are available free with consumer and editor ratings on sites such as CNET. 
     The Ninth Amendment welcomes back patient readers as well as new readers with this first post of the new year 2013. It is NOT the Ninth Amendment's intention to become a source of computer security alerts nor should readers rely on the Ninth Amendment for that purpose.
     As always the real news of 2013 will soon follow as Ninth Amendment editorial staff and global bureaus reconfigure for the new year. To date Ninth Amendment editors have identified many mostly ignored potentially very significant reports from the "mainstream" press including of North Korea's recent showcasing of functional drones reverse-engineered from, as predicted here, the CIA's own (non-existent) drones, with the notable addition of North Korea's maniacal giant "Flying Dinosaur" drone.
     Apparently United States national security agencies also somehow entirely missed North Korea's start-to-finish development of medium-range missiles capable of carrying WMD warheads until a test missile was successfully fired off on trajectory by North Korea's reportedly charismatic new leader lady-killer and apparent Elvis-style sunglasses aficionado Kim Jong II assumed to be in celebration of something like the New Year. It is not known to the Ninth Amendment log what year if any actually is being celebrated in North Korea.
