Does Malwarebytes protect against drive by download Java vulnerabilities?

[Sn3akyP3t3]

Java 1.6 and now 1.7 both have some pretty serious vulnerabilities. I'm curious if Malwarebytes Pro protects against the those as well as the 1.7 recently realized exploit. Does it?

Here is some dirt on the 1.7 vulnerability:

My advice is to remove Java...its crap,forever risk with that software...I think it not protect,correct me if i wrong.Eventyally MBAM can block malicious ip which host exploit,its very good

I agree with removing Java completely.

As for the server (223.25.233.244), the next update covers it.
