WJVIEW Error

[Mike]

When I log on as a user (Windows XP home version) I get
the error 'WJVIEW Error' with the comment 'ERROR: Could
not execute Main: the systems cannon find the file
specified'. Any idea why this is occuring?

1. From the Start menu, select Run.
2. Enter this command:

RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection java.inf,UnInstall

to start the uninstall process.

3. Click Yes to the confirmation, then select Reboot.
4. After the machine restarts, delete the following items:
- the \%systemroot%\java folder
- java.pnf from the \%systemroot%\inf folder
- jview.exe and wjview.exe from the \%systemroot%\system32
folder
- the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Java VM registry
subkey
- the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\AdvancedOptions\JAVA_VM registry subkey (to remove the
Microsoft Internet Explorer--IE--options)

Microsoft JVM is now removed. Afterward:

Download & install MS Virtual Machine Build 3805.
Then visit the Windows Update website to obtain the
security update (Build 3810).

I suggest he does not. That will uninstall Java and is gross overkill.
And will probably not remove the message


This seems a fairly common one, and arises from some spyware that has
been removed, that was implemented as a Java applet. Removing the Java
applet has left the Java launcher, WJView, being left in the startup
things, but with nothing to run

Start - Run - MSConfig.exe and look in Startup for a line with WJView in
the Command column, and uncheck it. Take note of what java applet it
was intending to run (after it in that column) - it might be indicative.
