Or, under the Apple menu click Software Update - which you do on a regular basis anyway, don't you? - and download Apple's Java update. This will fix the Java vulnerability and clean your Mac of the Flashback Trojan, for OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard and 10.7 Lion, IF you have been infected (about 0.01 of the Macs in the world MAY have been infected).
The malware will not have affected your Mac in any way and the essential thing is not to download any of the third-party fixes on offer, they will f**k up your user prefs.
Stick with Apple and, in the words of Captain Mainwaring, 'DON'T PANIC!'. This really is small beer and the only reason it has made the news is that it is the first ever sniff of Macs possibly having been infected with malware of any kind.
