Did the virus scan find anything? Usually in these cases where you can't open a panel, it's probably a virus working in the background. So see if it found anything and remove it if it does.

OK, for that Java.Byte one, do this:
# Click on the Start menu # Select Settings # Select Control Panels # Select Java Plug-in # Click on the Cache tab # Click on the Clear button # Click OK to confirm That should clear it. Anything else now?
