This is just a warning to everyone that is using Java 7 update 10. According to the National Vulnerability Database,
"Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle Java 7 Update 10 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors, possibly related to "permissions of certain Java classes," as exploited in the wild in January 2013, and as demonstrated by Blackhole and Nuclear Pack."
It is recommended to disable Java content in your broswers.

You might want to find a differen't client. I personally use ChatZilla (Its a Firefox plugin!)
