If you are using any version of Sun Java that is prior to JRE Version 5.0 update

then you are strongly urged to remove any/all versions that are prior to JRE/JSE

being
exploited. It is possible that is how you got infected with malware.
Therefore, it is highly suggested that if there are any prior versions of Sun
Java
to Version 6 on the PC that they be removed ASAP.
The latest version is Sun Java JRE/JSE Version 5.0 Update 8
Simple check, look under...
C:\Program Files\Java
The only folder under that folder should be the latest version.
Such as...
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_08
