WJView error

[rpickens]

My computer just started giving me an error whenever I
boot up. It's title WJView Error and it says "Could not
execute Main: The system cannot find the file
specified. What is this and how do I fix it?

One possible cause of the error message is if Wjview attempts to start an
application on your system that no longer exists. To check this, perform the
following steps:
1. Start Msconfig.
2. Select the Startup tab.
3. Scan the list for any entries that contain "wjview."
4. If you find any "wjview" entries, try disabling the Wjview startup component
and locate any associated folders identified in Msconfig that you might need to
delete to determine whether that solves the problem.
To delete the "wjview" entries rather than disabling them (and to check under
non-XP OSs), perform the following steps:
1. Open a registy editor (e.g., regedit.exe).
2. Navigate to the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
and
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run registry
subkeys.
3. Remove the invalid "wjview" entries.

Another possible cause of the error message is because Spyware removal
applications and/or Anti Virus software removed the Java [Class] file without
removing the startup entry.


Note you can save the registry key first by:
On the File menu, click Export.
In the File name box, type SaveKey, and then click Save.
Or create a system restore point prior to editing.
Note: If the registry key is not there, you can simply create one by going edit

new.

This is java virtual machine (windows VM) so since it is

much easier to get and install the Sun's Java plug in,
here it is; http://java.com/en/index.jsp

The startup is trying to run a Java program that has been deleted -
WJView is the launcher for the Java engine. There seems to be some
trojan around of this sort, and the AV programs remove the Java file
without removing the entry to run the WJView and launch it: hence the
error message. Start - Run - MSConfig and in the Startup page look for
a line for WJView as command and uncheck it
