They only give a warranty that their chips are free from material
defects, not logic or microcode errors, so they could just tell you to
go away. (In the US anyway; in New Zealand the retailer is liable for
consequential damages if an individual has problems.)

I don't think Java will be vulnerable unless the security system has a
large hole. Any ActiveX program could do this, but you'd know who
wrote it. If that ActiveX program has a buffer overflow, it might not
be completely the author's fault. (Would you notice, under Win95?)
