hi,

ok good, if problems post back.

check java version:

Vulnerabilities/exploits in versions of Sun Java may be responsible for some malware installs via your browser.

It is important to keep Sun Java up to date and also to remove older versions which may have vulnerabilites/exploits that can be taken advantage of to possibly introduce malware via your browser.

* 1. Uninstall old versions of Sun Java via Add/Remove Programs.
* 2. Click the Remove or Change/Remove button
* 3. Reboot your PC if prompted.

to check if you have the latest version of Java and to download the latest version:

---------------------------
Viewpoint Manager = foistware: http://www.pchell.com/support/viewpoint.shtml


My Top Ten

The Short Version:

1) Keep your OS, browser and software up to date.
2) Know what you are installing to your computer.
3) Install, keep updated: antivirus and one or two anti-malware applications.
4) Dont click on adds/pop ups or offers from websites to install software.
5) Dont click on offers to "scan" your computer.
6) Dont click on links or install files you receive via E-Mail,IM, Chat Rooms or Social Sites.
7) Set up and use limited accounts rather than administrator accounts.
8) Consider using an alternate browser and E-mail client.
9) Install and understand the limitations of a third party software firewall.
10) If your habits include warez, cracks/keygens, P2P or visting adult sites you are much more likely to encounter malicious code.
