Java applets can't do any damage 'in the background' on your system.
That is part of the Java security as opposed to the Active X from
microsoft. (I suppose anything can be done, but Java is quite secure
from applets doing anything executable on the machine.

What you really want to do is make sure you don't get any cookies on
your machine, and to do that, just delete the existing cookies file
and create a directory called 'cookies' This will prevent the host
from putting anything on your machine.
