it appears you're running Sun Java
j2re1.4.2_03 . there is much speculation that a "hole" in this particular version is being exploited by WinFixer. so we should upgrade to the latest version,
1.5.0_06 from
http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
my personal preference is to download the MANUAL (OFFline) installation version (16 MB). but if you prefer the online installation, that choice is yours.
AFTER you successfully install the new java, go to your control panel, ADD/REMOVE programs, and
UNinstall all older versions of Java (if any) that still show up there.... especially the 1.4.2_03.
when you're done,
REPLY here, and post an updated/revised HJT log.
