after logging on to my personal settings a window appears
that says "ERROR: Unable to locate system class:
java/lang/Object." What does this mean, and how do I fix
it? Thanks for any help.
from information by MVP Alex Nichol
"WJvView is the interface program of the Microsoft (Java) Virtual
machine, used to run Java programs. There was probably a piece of
spyware on the system written in Java that an AV or anti-spyware
program has removed, leaving the WJView sitting there with nothing to
launch.
Go to Start>Run and type "msconfig" without the quotes. Look on the
Startup tab for a line that has WJView in the Command column - you may
need to drag the divider to its right in the headers so as to see
enough. Uncheck the line, and perhaps also check what was the Java
program, after the wjview.exe on the line."
Here is additional information on removing spyware:
Remove spyware with Spybot Search & Destroy from
www.safer-networking.org and Ad-aware from
www.lavasoftusa.com. Be sure
to update these programs before running them. These programs are free,
so run them both since they complement each other. It is best to run
antivirus and spyware removal tools in Safe Mode. You may also need to
run CWShredder from
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/index.html .
Please read the instructions carefully. A great resource for dealing
with spyware is
