To summarize, at this point the exploit kit was able to successfully exploit the victims machine because it was able to make it download a file without the users consent by exploiting a vulnerability in Java that allowed a break out from the sandbox and onto the victims machine. This does not mean that the victim was infected by the file or that any malware is present on the machine. Anti-virus could have easily stopped it or another host based prevention system. The file may not have even been able to install properly.
