Dear Richard,

Are we exposed to risks when using the Medium security setting for Java?
Thank you
Security levels in the Java Control Panel
Very High
This is the most restrictive security level setting. All unsigned and self signed applets and applications are blocked and will not run. Only apps that have an associated certificate from a trusted authority will run after presenting a prompt.
High
This is the minimum recommended (and default) security setting. Unsigned and self-signed sandbox (limited access) apps will not run on old or expired Java versions. All applets will present a security prompt before they can be run.
Medium
All applets can be run only after a security prompt is presented. Selecting the Medium security level is not recommended and will make your computer more vulnerable should you run a malicious application.
