In upcoming releases of Java-enabled browsers (those built on the next
JDK release) this situtation will improve. I think that for the time
being, you are stuck with pop-up windows warning people about "high
risk" situations. But, you can take some solace in the fact that
this *IS* much more secure than systems that simply let downloaded
programs do anything they want without warning. Although that might
seem "friendly", it isn't a good long-term solution for building
robust internet applications.
