I have written a java applet which tests user link speed. I gather some system information prom user's computer: CPU load, amount of data downloaded on eth0 interface and NIC card max speed with SIGAR API. I deployed it on a web server but when i try to run it I get following error info in java console:

I am not sure if this is not blocked due to applet security restrictions, but from the SIGAR user forum (http://forums.hyperic.com/jiveforums/forum.jspa?forumID=2) I have got impression, that it is possible to use it with web applications.
This is my class which uses Sigar API:

This is my first applet and I am not very familiar with the web solutions so if anyone could help me, I would appreciate. I have searcher through many similar topics, but didn't find solution. I tried to use AccessCOntroller.do Priviliged() method, but that didn't work as well. I signed my jar file with applet classes. I am not sure if I should sign those jar libraries, should I? My html file is as follows:
