Wrong. Negative. FUD. Etc.
Java Applets are not allowed to touch the local filesystem or talk over
the network unless YOU SPECIFICALLY allow them.
No security risk at all, as long as the Java environment in which they
are running is correctly written.
Which is why your MS friends probably think that, because for a while MS
was shipping a JVM (the "Java Virtual Machine" environment) that was
broken and DID allow applets to do some nasty things.
Not that they did that on purpose to give Java a bad reputation. No. I
would never suspect that at all. Never.
