You may need to disable all scripting to address this.  Although it does
tie directly into Java, it may be able to use other (custom) scripting
that you may have in place for better user manageability/usability.

The website in question executes a Java applet on your computer.  The
Java
applet is then looking at your computers network configuration, and
displaying it on the screen.


Removing the Java plugin, or disabling the browsers ability to use the
plugin, would prevent this applet from running.
