Only 9 of 22 antivirus block Java exploit
According to an analysis conducted by the AV-Comparatives test lab on behalf of The H's associates at heise Security, less than half of the 22 anti-virus programs tested protect users against the currently circulating Java exploit that targets a highly critical vulnerability in Java version 7 Update 6.
Only 9 of the 22 tested products managed to block both variants of the exploit (Avast Free, AVG, Avira, ESET, G Data, Kaspersky, PC Tools, Sophos and Symantec). Twelve virus scanners were found to be unsuccessful (AhnLab, Bitdefender, BullGuard, eScan, F-Secure, Fortinet, GFI-Vipre, Ikarus, McAfee, Panda Cloud Antivirus, Trend Micro and Webroot). Microsoft's free Security Essentials component at least managed to block the basic version of the exploit.

Good to know there was at least one free AV that blocked the exploit and I expected more from Bitdefender...
