Any help will be highly appreciated. Two possibilities. One, go to a web page that will make the Java icon appear next to your clock. Right click on it and go to Java's Control panel. Then on the General tab, delete the Temporary Internet files or Two, download CCleaner from http://www.ccleaner.com (free) and run that to get rid of them.

There are anti virus News Groups specifically for this type of discussion. microsoft.public.security.virus alt.comp.virus alt.comp.anti-virus If you are using any version of Sun Java that is prior to JRE Version 5.0, then you are strongly urged to remove any/all versions that are prior to JRE Version 5.0. There are vulnerabilities in them and they are actively being exploited.

Hello Dave: I have JSE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 6 installed. Is that allright, or must I also replace it with your suggested version? Harry. "David H. Lipman" wrote in message ...

For some crazy and inexplicable reason Sun choose not to uninstall the previous vulnerable version when installing an upgraded JavaVM. Shows how little interest Sun appear to have in the security of their users' systems. There are many users who have JRE 5.0 update 6 installed who are blissfully unaware that they also still have the very vulnerable and frequently exploited Java JRE1.4 version present on their systems. -- Mike Maltby |

I don't have JRE 1.4 on my system (add/remove), just four instances of JRE 5.0. Alias |
