Was my security just disabled?

I was reading an article in an online newspaper when a window poped up and the
following text appeared?

Java VM version: 1.4.1
Java VM vendor: Blackdown Java-Linux Team
WARNING: Security Manager disabled!
----------- RedSheriff Measurement -----------
Privacy: http://www.redsheriff.com/privacy.htm

What does this mean?
