[RESOLVED] System Care AV Virus?

[JLS]

Also, I forgot to mention, I rebooted and tried to run JavaRA again and got all the same messages again.

Post new Security Check log.

[JLS]

Do you mean the JavaRa log?

You're up to date and good to go

[JLS]

That is good to hear. How come I was getting those error messages?

How come I don't have a Java listing in control panel?

How do I disable Java Quickstart?

[Broni]

I'm not sure about those errors but I wouldn't worry about them since everything installed just fine.

As for Control Panel...

Please download SystemLook from one of the links below and save it to your Desktop.
Download Mirror #1
Download Mirror #2
64-bit users go HERE

• Double-click SystemLook.exe to run it.
• Vista users:: Right click on SystemLook.exe, click Run As Administrator
• Copy the content of the following box and paste it into the main textfield:
  

  :filefind
  javacpl.cpl

• Click the Look button to start the scan.
• When finished, a notepad window will open with the results of the scan. Please post this log in your next reply.

Note: The log can also be found on your Desktop entitled SystemLook.txt

Copy javacpl.cpl from the above folder: C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\javacpl.cpl and paste it to C:\Windows\System32 folder.
Restart computer and see if Java icon is back in Control Panel.

[JLS]

Brioni, that did the trick. You are good. I keep reading that using java isn't safe and it is best to disable it or even delete it. How safe is it? I read that it is best to disable it unless you need it to play a game that may require it.

Also, how bad was the virus that I had? Do you think anyone got any of my personal info that I had on my computer or any of my passwords?

[Broni]

Most people don't need Java at all.
You can safely uninstall it.

You should definitely change all of your sensitive passwords.

Good luck and stay safe

Broni, thank you so much for all the help. I really appreciate it. If I have any other problems, I will let you know. Thanks again for the help.

[Broni]

You're very welcome
