Lets update your Java to make your system more secure

Go to your Control Panel and click on the Java Icon ( looks like a little coffee cup ) click on About and you should have Version 6 Update 24, if not proceed with the instructions.

Download the latest version Here save it, do not install it yet.

Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE)JRE 6 Update 24 <--The wording is confusing but this is what you need

• Go to your Add Remove Programs in the Control Panel and uninstall any previous versions of Java
• Reboot your computer
• Install the latest version

You can verify the installation Here



Open OTL and click on CleanUp and it will remove programs we have used and there backups from your system

Hi Ken,
I get a message saying that java is already installed when I try to install it. I had installed the latest version yesterday but in the control panel I see there is no association with java (no familiar coffee cup icon). A search for java only brings up the empty icon and the .exe file. Should I proceed with the OTL cleanup in the meantime?

Thats fine, as long as its updated. Keeping it updated is one more nail in the coffin for malware

Yes, you can clean up now
