Not that the parent was suggesting the following, but do note that if you only disable the Java browser plugins, when you next update Java (the SE package/installer, at least), the updated versions of those plugins will be installed and enabled in all or most browsers. You have to go and manually disable them, again. I keep Java around for some other reasons, so when I update, I have to remember to go and disable the browser plugins once again.
