Hello and welcome to Malwarebytes

No need to post multiple times.... Also since you mentioned you had found some threats, we need to verify first that you are still not infected.

If you think you are infected, here are the steps needed to get your computer cleaned....

Please read the following so that you can begin the cleaning process:

IMPORTANT: Don't use any temporary file cleaners unless requested - this can cause data loss and make recovery difficult

You have 3 Options that you can choose from as listed below:

• Option 1 —— Free Expert advice in the Malware Removal Forum
  
• Option 2 —— Paying customer -- Contact Support via email
  
• Option 3 —— Premium, Fee-Based Support

OPTION 1

As we don't deal with malware removal in the General Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Forum, you need to start a topic in the

Malware Removal forum so a qualified helper can help you fix any malware related problems/infections you may have.

• Please read and follow the directions >>Right HERE<<, skipping any steps you are unable to complete.
  
• After posting your new post, make sure under options, you select Track this topic and choose Immediate Email Notification,
  so that you're alerted when someone has replied to your post.

NOTE: Please do not post back to (bump) your topic within the first 48 hours.

Replying to your own posts changes the post count and helpers are looking for topics with zero replies.

If you reply to your own post helpers may think that you're already being helped and thus overlook your post.

• If there is no reply from any experts after 48 hours, you can reply to the topic, asking for help again.
  Or
  
• You may send a Private Message to a Moderator asking for assistance.
  

OPTION 2

Alternatively, as a paying customer, you can contact the help desk by filling out the form located >>Right HERE<<

OPTION 3

Please be patient, someone will assist you as soon as possible.

Hi Bobc8 -

Hate to post over Firefox, but ..........

Have you looked in Control Panel, either Add / Remove or Programs and Features to find the version of Java installed ??

I did have quite a few problems with the latest Java, but we finally worked this out -

noknojon nothing wrong with some suggestions, it would help to just uninstall all java versions and then just install the latest version of java...

Although the infection part still needs to be delt with first, as the infection could be the cause of it not working correctly.....

Also, in addition to the expert suggestions by Firefox and noknojon (assuming that the problem persists after any malware removal or is unrelated to infection), perhaps this recent post by Shy might have something to do with it?

PS Totally cleaning all java (using Revo) and cleanly reinstalling the latest version has helped for some folks -- several fairly recent threads about this here, I think.
