Yes, you can reduce some of the problems by manually disabling the browser
plugin, but how many users will do that?
Recommending a fast SPV client as a first wallet - yes, of course.
Recommending users open such a huge attack interface on their computers by
installing Java - No go. Until Multibit is provided as a compiled binary
without a Java dependency, it is DOA.
