snapin.js Failed to Load

[tschriber]

I am using Vista Home Edition on a Dell Inspiron laptop.  I was trying to upload pics on a family website.  I uploaded a few then wasn't able to anymore.  I was able to select the pics I wanted to upload but when I tried to open them to the uploader, nothing happens.  Then I got a message that said ... snapin.js Failed to Load.  I did a search on this and the only thing that came up was information on a vundo trojan horse virus.  I read more on the topic, but my computer is not doing what the info says it should do if I have the virus except that often pages cannot be found, which I thought was because of my firewall.  Does the message mean that Java is failing to load?  If so, should I uninstall and reinstall?  Does it sound like I have a virus?  My virus scan isn't showing anything.

.js is a Java file. What version of Java do you have installed? The most recent is Sun Java Runtime Environment 6 Update 11 http://www.majorgeeks.com/Sun_Java_Runtime_Environment_d4648.html

You might also check with the Secunia Online Software Inspector to make sure nothing is out of date. http://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/online/

I have Java 6 Update 5... so if I update, should that take care of the uploading problem?

[evilfantasy]

Update to the new version then check add/remove programs and uninstall all but Java 6 Update 11.

I'm not sure if it will fix it but it's a place to start.

Post a HijackThis log also so we can have a quick look for infections.

Download TrendMicro HijackThis.exe (HJT) to the Desktop.

• Double-click on HJTInstall.
• Click on the Install button.
  
• It will automatically place HJT in C:\Program Files\TrendMicro\HijackThis\HijackThis.exe.
  
• Upon install, HijackThis should open for you.
• Click on the Do a system scan and save a log file button
  
• HijackThis will scan and then a log will open in notepad.
• Copy and then paste the entire contents of the log in your post.
  
• Do not have HijackThis fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.

I tried to update Java but get a message that says  "Another program is being installed.  Please wait until that installation is comlplete, then try installing this software again."  I have gotten that message before, but I am not installing anything.  Thnks, by the way, for the help.  I do appreciate it.

[evilfantasy]

Post the HJT log and we will go from there.

Try to install the new Java again.

Be sure to close all web browsers before starting the install.

[tschriber]

Java seems to be downloading okay now.  I live in a rural area and have to have dial up so its very slow but it seems to be working.  Does this mean that I won't be able to have Limewire now?  And when I'm finished, do I delete the HijackThis and Anti-malwarebyte programs or keep them around?  Thank you so much for all your help!!!

[tschriber]

Okay, Java still would not download.  It still says that another program is being installed and I need to wait until that program finishes installing.  I am not installing anything.  What now?

[evilfantasy]

You can put Limewire back on but it doesn't need to be running at startup.

Go here https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_Developer-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewFilteredProducts-SingleVariationTypeFilter

Choose the Windows Offline Installation file and see if you can install that.
