In addition to greyknight17's instructions, please do this:


Uninstall Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2_03, as having it onboard still is a security risk
  • Go to Start > Control Panel double-click on the Software icon, Add or Remove programs.
  • Search in the list for Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2_03
  • Select it and click Remove.

  • Go back into the Control Panel and double-click the Java Icon.
  • Under Temporary Internet Files, click the Delete Files button.
  • There are three options in the window to clear the cache - Leave ALL 3 Checked
    • Downloaded Applets
    • Downloaded Applications
    • Other Files
  • Click OK on Delete Temporary Files Window
    Note: This deletes ALL the Downloaded Applications and Applets from the CACHE.
  • Click OK to leave the Java Control Panel.
