It seems that way. I have ran into similar sales gimmicks many times. I usually don't allow Java applets to run on my personal systems. Quite a few clients of mine have ran into similar things and been seriously "freaked out" as it could do that to a person. It is just a little Java Applet trick, of which I am not all that versed on, that displays your local root directory to the viewer. As far as I know it isn't actually exploitable or even shown to anyone but you. Thanks for sending us another link to watch out for.
