You want to open up Internet Explorer and go to Tools> Windows Updates and download and install all critical updates including Service Pack 2 and beyond. You can download it directly from here if you like and you can also order it on a CD free from Microsoft and also get free support installing it if you need to.

After you install Service Pack 2 and not before, then update your Java.
ComboFix /u <-- Highlight this with your mouse
Go to start > run and copy and paste in the field:
Then hit enter.
This will uninstall Combofix, delete its related folders and files, reset your clock settings, hide file extensions, hide the system/hidden files and resets System Restore again.
You can drag all the other tools we used to the trash.
Glad things are well

After you install Service Pack 2 and not before, then update your Java.
- Your Java is out of date and leaving your system vulnerable.
- Go to your Add-Remove Programs in the Control Panel and uninstall any previous versions of Java (J2SE Runtime Environment)
- It should have an icon next to it:
Select it and click Remove. - Reboot your system.
- Then go to the Sun Microsystems and install the update
- Java Runtime Environment Version 6 Update 3 <--This is what you need to download and install.
- If you chose the online installation, it will prompt you to run the program.
- If you chose the offline installation, you will be prompted to save the file and you can run it from wherever you saved it.
- Then after install you can verify your installation here Sun Java Verify
ComboFix /u <-- Highlight this with your mouse
Go to start > run and copy and paste in the field:
Then hit enter.
This will uninstall Combofix, delete its related folders and files, reset your clock settings, hide file extensions, hide the system/hidden files and resets System Restore again.
