It is very important not only to keep Sun Java up to date but also to remove older versions which have security holes and can be exploited by malware such as Vundo .

Please follow the steps to remove older version Java components
1 . Close any open programs you may have running, especially your web
browser
2 . Click Start > Control Panel
* Depending on your OS or configuration, you may have to click Start
> Settings > Control Panel
3 . Open Add or Remove Programs
* If you have Windows 98 or Windows 2000, open Add/Remove Programs
4 . Click once on any item listing Java Runtime Environment in the name
* Not every version of Java will begin with "Java" so be sure to read each entry in the list
5 . Click the Remove or Change/Remove button
6 . Follow steps 4 and 5 as many times as necessary to remove all versions of Java . ** If you are asked to reboot at any point during the uninstallations, please do so . Then go back to Add/Remove and continue with the removals .
7 . Next, navigate to and delete:C:\Program Files\Java <<<<<<this folder if found
8 . Reboot your PC once all Java components have been removed .
9 . Proceed with reinstalling Java by going to This site ( . java . com/en/download/index . jsp" target="_blank">www . java . com) and downloading the latest version ( Version 5 . 0 Update 7 ) from the website .
Save it, do not run it .

When the download is complete, close the browser and install it .

476999 2006-08-09 03:11:00 :thumbs: Thank you's so much for helping me through this, just one last question, can you's recommend any good firewalls I could install? drifterjoe (10935)
477000 2006-08-09 03:54:00 Ok . No problem . . . . . . Firewall info is on here .




If you wish to do so, here are a few things that you can do that will help keep your computer a bit more clean and secure . .

If you have not already done so, you might want to run Disk Cleanup and run it in each user's profile:

Run Disk Cleanup
Click "Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup"
Please make sure the following are checked:
-- Downloaded Program Files
-- Temporary Internet Files
-- Recycle Bin
-- Temporary Files
Click "OK" and Disk Cleanup will delete those files for you .


Now that you are clean its now is a good time to flush out your restored files .

To flush the XP System Restore Points:
(Using XP, you must be logged in as Administrator to do this . )
Go to Start>Run and type msconfig Press enter .
When msconfig opens, click the Launch System Restore Button .
On the next page, click the System Restore Settings Link on the left .
Check the box labeled Turn Off System Restore .

Reboot . Go back in and turn System Restore ON . A new Restore Point will be created .

How Do I Protect My Computer Against Future Malware Now I'm Clean .

NOTE:You may have already taken some of these steps .

Update your anti-virus software & Windows operating system on a daily or weekly basis . Microsoft also distributes updates to its operating systems . These updates fix security holes or other problems that make a computer susceptible to security breaches . How to update your Windows operating system (http://www . windowsupdate . com/)

Know What You're Installing
Check the source .
To avoid malware, make sure your software comes from a reputable source . Be particularly suspicious of sponsored software (software that relies on advertising) or software that claims to speed up your Internet connection .

Use Custom Install .
If you feel comfortable with software installation, you can choose Custom Install (as opposed to Typical Install) . Custom Install allows you to select only the software components you wish to install, and leave out others (such as potential spyware) .

Modify Security Settings (Internet Explorer 6)
To reduce the risk of installing malware, you can set Internet Explorer to high security mode . To do so:

Open Internet Explorer . Go to Tools > Internet Options… .
On the Internet Options screen, select the Security tab, then select the Internet icon (if it is not already selected) .
Under Security level for this zone, click Default Level . Set the slider to High .
Note: You may have to lower the security level to view certain Web sites .
Next, select the Trusted Sites icon . Under Security level for this zone, click Default Level . Set the slider to Medium .
Click Apply, then OK to save the changes .

Some Recommended Protection Programs

Each tool has its own strengths for identifying and removing specific types of malware . To thoroughly check your computer, its recommend that you use more than one malware removal program . Don't forget to back up your data files before starting a scan!

Some available programs are:

Ad-Aware (http://www . lavasoft . com/)
SpyBot Search & Destroy ( . safer-networking . org/en/index . html" target="_blank">www . safer-networking . org)

Now that you are clean, to help protect your system I recommend that you get the following free programs:
SpywareBlaster ( . javacoolsoftware . com/spywareblaster . html" target="_blank">www . javacoolsoftware . com) to help prevent spyware from installing .
SpywareGuard ( . javacoolsoftware . com/spywareguard . html" target="_blank">www . javacoolsoftware . com) to catch and block spyware .
IESpy-Ad ( . aumha . org/secure . htm" target="_blank">www . aumha . org)to block access to malicious websites so you cannot be redirected to them from an infected site or email .
WinPatrol (http://www . winpatrol . com/) to monitor any changes that programs make to the registry .

If you do not have a firewall, here is a free one for personal use:

ZoneAlarm (http://www . zonelabs . com/)
. zonelabs . com/store/content/company/products/trial_zaFamily/trial_zaFamily . jsp?lid=home_freedownloads" target="_blank">www . zonelabs . com
. zonelabs . com/store/content/company/products/znalm/comparison . jsp?dc=12bms&ctry=US&lang=en&lid=ho_za" target="_blank">www . zonelabs . com



Before using or purchasing any Spyware/Malware protection/removal program, always check the Rogue/Suspect Spyware List . It will save you a lot of grief, as well as money if you are thinking of purchasing . Here is the link:

. spywarewarrior . com/rogue_anti-spyware . htm" target="_blank">www . spywarewarrior . com
If you want to know just how effective your anti-spyware program is, or how well any of the "rogue" programs listed at the above link work, check this for an independent comparison of several anti-spyware programs:

. spywarewarrior . com/asw-test-guide . htm" target="_blank">www . spywarewarrior . com
