and NBC were also hit.

Yesterday I actually ran into the Blackhole/Java exploit for the first
time
myself, while trying to debug a Java issue at a customer. The antivirus
had
apparently been updated and also found the virus, but not before it had
wrecked havoc (reinstalling Java did not seem to fix the problem, I
eventually traced it down to the trusted.certs keystore being
compromised).
Being so widespread, surely I am not the only one in this forum now
starting to meet it in the wild?
Are there some instructions to diagnose the problem, for all the major
operating systems?
