Pop Up from new Java update

Since I installed the lastest Java Runtime Environment v 5.0, I keep getting this pop up from http://jgen44.cjt1.net.....

I would like to get rid of it but I can not block it.
I tried windows XPs and Nortons pop up blockers. NO joy. Any ideas.

 

try running a spyware scanner, adaware, spy sweeper, microsoft anti spyware etc. Here are some links.

Spy sweeper may not let you remove files due to trial version but the other two are free.

 

Microsoft did not get it but spy sweeper did.

Thanks

 

I spoke(typed) too soon. I still get the pop up. It has something to do with a Java Request?

 

I know there has been a java trojan getting around called javabyte.a on the trend micro site. Maybe this is what you have. What anti virus are you running and maybe try doing a scan from trend micro website.

 

If you think .. it's caused by your Java Machine -- Remove it and then go to :- http://www.java.com/en/download/download_the_latest.jsp

to re-install it.

As for the JAVA/BYTE VERIFY VIRUS if you are running SUN Java.. it is harmless . But if you running Microsoft VM then it can be harmful -- These malicious applets are designed to exploit vulnerabilities in the Microsoft VM ( http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS03-011.mspx )


If you want to absolutely clear your Sun Java cache , here's how :-

Here are the instructions on how to manually remove these malicious applets from the JRE cache directory:

From the Start button, click Settings > Control Panel
In the Control Panel, open the "Java Plug-in Control Panel"
Select the Cache Tab
Click the Clear button inside the Cache Tab, which will clear your JRE cache directory


Dont be surprized if you get that JAVA/BYTE VERIFY VIRUS back ; it's an old entrance exploit used by many porn and warez sites to dump on you those infamous downloaders , hoping you have the Microsoft Java installed on your PC.

 

It is gone for now. aD is one of the places it pops up on. I was not worried that it would do any harm, it was just a pest. The only one I have so even more so a pain in the ass.

 

I rid myself of the pop up but now when it tries it creates an error. I guess I cut off the tail not the head.
