Oracle has released Java 7 update 15 and Java 6 update 41 here:

in other words, they’ve released new fixes for the security fixes that were released earlier this February.

More on these new Java releases mentioned on these Oracle sites:

I think we’re all better off uninstalling Java altogether. and don’t forget to advise users removing Java to check for the deployjava1.dll and npdeployjava1.dll files in either the \Windows\system32\ or \Windows\syswow64\ folder. Those two files are part of Java and should be deleted manually if they remain after uninstalling Java since Google Chrome detected those files as Java plugins when I typed “chrome://plugins” in the Google Chrome browser address bar.

(Thanks, EP!)
