Severe spyware found by NoAdware v5.0 after AVG v7.5 full to v8.0 full upgrade

I still get the same message. Is this the java download I need?

Yes thats it. Are you using Firefox or IE? It will work better in IE, but I just used it earlier today in Firefox so I am not sure what is going on. Try turning off your firewall and see if it works.

I'm running IE7. I tried with my AVG firewall disabled and windows firewall is off as normal. Also in control panel > internet options > security, the value for "sripting of java applets" is 'enable'.

See if you can download and run the SECUNIA PSI Personal Edition - free also.

that worked fine. It shows I have 3 insecure programs and 83 patched:
The 3 insecure are:

Adobe flash player  9.x {active x control}
Safari for windows 3.x
Sun java JRE 1.5x / 5x

I don't see how to copy paste or post a log with this?

[evilfantasy]

Use the Adobe Online Uninstaller to fully uninstall all old versions of flash player.

Then install the New Version

----------

Go to add/remove programs and uninstall any old version of Java, leaving only the newest one 1.6.0.6

----------

Update Safari - Not sure how since I don't use it.

[lectrocrew]

OK. I ran the 'Download Solution for all 3 insecure programs and re-scanned with Secunia PSI.
This scan only shows 1 insecure program; Sun Java JRE 1.5x / 5.x
I'll try uninstalling it and downloading again.

[evilfantasy]

Go to C:\Program Files\Java and delete the 1.5x / 5.x folder.

[lectrocrew]

It won't let me delete it.
 I get a message:
"cannot delete jusched.exe. access is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write protected and that the file is not currently in use".

[evilfantasy]

Hmm, try this.

Download JavaRa.zip

• Unzip the file and open the JavaRa.exe
• Click Remove Older Versions
  
• JavaRa will search for and remove any outdated version of Java and remove any that are found.
• Exit JavaRa.

[lectrocrew]

done. Now I still have these folders in C/Program Files/Java/
jre1.5.0_12
jre1.6.0_05

[evilfantasy]

Actually both of those are old lol.

New version can be downloaded and installed HERE

Then go to add/remove programs and uninstall all but the 1.6.0.6 that was just installed. Then go to program files and check for any old folders and delete them. All except for the 1.6.0.6 that was just installed.

Sorry, forgot that it just updated again last week.

[lectrocrew]

Done.

'java  6 update 6' is the only java showing in add / remeve programs

In Program Files it added jre1.6.0_06, and let me delete jre1.6.0_05, but it still won't let me delete jre1.5.0_12

[evilfantasy]

Is the jre1.5.0_12 folder in Program Files, or is it just the entry in add/remove programs that is there?

[lectrocrew]

jre1.5.0_12
is in program files. It does not show up in add / remove programs
