Look in your uninstall programs for Oracle Java or used to be named Sun Java. Or look in your program files off the start menu for them too & should see an uninstaller there. Just uninstall java and forget about it unless you need it .... Here is a link that might be useful: Manual download page to newest version of Java This post was edited by mikie on Tue, Aug 27, 13 at 9:51

Oh RavenCajun, I'm trying to stay calm but hubby is going to freak if I have to tell him I got Trojans on a practically new computer. *taking deep breaths* You're right (again! lol)....some of these programs seem to automatically download things I didn't want. In the Remove programs area I found things that I knew could be included with other items I downloaded but I never wanted them, but there they were! Examples: Open Office, Google Toolbar, Yahoo Toolbar, Webshots something-or-other, etc. I promise to be much more careful in the future by making sure to inspect for something that is checked as if I want it, but don't. Even though I "Remove Selected" on everything, this info below shows "no action taken". This is the log that Popped Up Automatically when I clicked "Remove Selected": Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 1.30 Database version: 1328 Windows 6.0.6001 Service Pack 1 10/27/2008 12:15:08 PM mbam-log-2008-10-27 (12-14-53).txt Scan type: Quick Scan Objects scanned: 43155 Time elapsed: 4 minute(s), 47 second(s) Memory Processes Infected: 0 Memory Modules Infected: 0 Registry Keys Infected: 4 Registry Values Infected: 6 Registry Data Items Infected: 14 Folders Infected: 1 Files Infected: 9 Memory Processes Infected: (No malicious items detected) Memory Modules Infected: (No malicious items detected) Registry Keys Infected: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Stats\(030a0f33-5b99-482e-83f5-2eeb8457878b) (Trojan.BHO) -> No action taken.

Also, before reading your post I hand-copied some things that showed up in my Free AVG when it automatically scanned in the wee hours of this morning. Trojan Fake Alfert - IEBT " Media-Codec " Media-Codec/V4 " SmitFraudVariant/IE Anti-Spyware " Unclassified/ALGG " Unclassified-Packed/Suspicious " Downloader ZLOB_r.DE " " " " DO " " " " DF " Generic7.BDKJ Adware Media-Codec/ZLOB And even though I thought the bad stuff was gone and I've started with a fresh reboot, when I am in IE7, it freezes and I get one of two messages: APPCRASH or APPHANGB1 Of course I went to WebShots and sure 'nuff, there was the big box with the message "This page will not function properly without enabling Java". gggrrrrr!

Thanks, everyone. Those warnings make me nervous... To answer zep's questions - yes, it is Vista; and yes, it is Internet Explorer. OK, so I think it is the firewall, then. So I will allow it; and I will tell it not to ask me again. I didn't allow it at first, so then I allowed it the second time (waited for my computer to blow up... ; ) ... but it didn't happen); but I didn't check on not to show again because I was afraid that if allowing it was not the thing to do, I wouldn't be able to see that pop-up again. If that makes sense. If I have any problems with version 7, I'll let you guys know. I did notice that when I was downloading it, it took awhile to download some patches along with it. Thanks very much! Again. : )

Have you run a virus check to see if something is messing with the program? I got an odd email from Norton a few days ago about a "free" program they wanted to give me. Knowing Norton I doubt they wanted to give me something for nothing. So I just deleted it. I mention this because maybe someone got into your McAfee in a similar way, "your computer is unprotected" and when you "fixed' it they got in. Just my suspicious nature, but worth a virus check scan anyway.
