There is a tool here for removing JRE (Java Runtime Environment) but I don't know a thing about it. (That means I've never used it, don't know it's AV status, don't know whether it even works.) Source is also available, if you want to see what it will be deleting or looking for. I hope you were referring to JRE, in your question. http://singularlabs.com/software/jav...vara-download/ Now, if I was doing this, I'd back up the C: partition before letting that thing go to work. Good luck. If you can't reboot the computer later let's say, then you would rely on that backup you made, to restore your computer to mint condition. Backup tools with a "bare metal" restoration capability are favored for this, as they come with a boot CD, and even if the computer won't boot, the backup tool boot CD is what gets you back in business again. (Boot the backup tool boot CD, then restore from backup held on an external drive.) Yes, the advice from Sun/Oracle is to use Add/Remove to remove stuff like that. But if you haven't been "cleaning house" properly over the years, there could be quite a mess in there. The scan on JavaRa-1.16-16-12-11.zip is clean, and a file with that checksum has already been scanned. Note that this doesn't mean a thing, except that the file does not contain recognized malware. The file obviously still has "delete" commands in it, and we're taking on faith, that it will be deleting the right things. https://www.virustotal.com/file/1df5...1d7f/analysis/ Paul |
