Adaware, and Spybot don't run in real-time with one exception.
Do you have Spybot's TeaTimer icon in systray?

    Which Windows Installer do you have?

    To see which version of Microsoft Windows Installer is installed, do the following:

    1.  Locate the file MSI.DLL. (Usually located in C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32 )
    2.  Select the file and right-click on it.
    3.  Choose "Properties" and click on the "Version" tab.

    Let us know which version is installed.

      Hmmm...that's the latest.

      When you double-click the java package installer you downloaded to your desktop...does anything happen at all?

      Are there any error messages?

      Anything?

        Try Windows Installer CleanUp Utility: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
        If that doesn't help, install fresh version of Windows Installer: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/893803

        You can also try this, if Broni's suggestion doesn't work:

        Quote
        Go to Windows' Control Panel, click on the Java Cup to launch Java Control Panel

        - go to "Advanced" tab -> <APPLET> tag support
        - click to enable Internet Explorer and/or Mozilla and NS
        - click OK- restart your browser.

        Once you've done the following...visit the following page to see if you can add the latest version through your browser:  http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp

        If it does install...verify the installation successfully installed by visiting the following link:  http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp?detect=jre&try=1
