Kaspersky vs Java.exe detected as virus - Need help!

Hi,
Just installed yesterday Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 on my VISTA Ultimate 32 bits laptop. After doing a complete analysis, it reported out of a total of 3 the following threats:
c:\windows\system32\java.exe
c:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0\bin\java.exe
What can I do with these?
Honestly, I don't know really as I'm far from being an expert with JAVA.
In conclusion, what do I do with these 2 files? Here is an item I could find from my VISTA "programs install/uninstall" window:
"JAVA(TM) SE Runtime Environment 6"
To solve my threat warnings:
- do I need to update this to a newer version? If so how?
- put files to quarantine as they suggest?
- do anything else?
Thanks in advance for help!

Hi,
I solved this problem by doing as following:
- first uninstall JAVA Runtime which was already installed in VISTA
- Next Install last runtime SE Version
"Java SE Runtime Environment 6u7".
- Went to http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
- Created myself a user account
- From page, downloaded runtime "Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 7"
- Installed it
- When I then checked errors from Kaspersky, no more regarding JAVA.

Caching Issue with Java Portal....Need Help ASAP!

We are deploying a JAVA & .NET enviornment. We have a Java Portal Server that connects to the .NET enviornment. We seem to have a problem with the caching on the JAVA portal...any help you could provide would be much needed!!

We are running Apache 2.0.48 with TomCat 4.1.18LE using JK2 as a conduit between them. We are not using mod_cache at all. we are using mod_proxy in the Apache Server. We have disabled caching in Tomcat:<Host name=..................... <Context path=............................ <Logger className=........................... <Manager className=.............................. <Resources cached="false" caseSensitive="false" /> This didn't seem to help the problem. Now am wondering if the browser is caching even though it's set to get a new page each time. The symtoms are: create a community page edit the pagecreate a portletfinishthe portlet shows upfinishfinishportlet is not on the pageclick refresh......the portlet is on the page.edit the communityedit the pagethe portlet is not on the edit pageclick refreshthe portlet is on the page..... regards and respect...

First Java Programming Assignment - Grad student needs Help

Thank-you to whomever helps me out here (I have been waiting for the Professor to respond for 2 days now, and our asignment is due by midnight 2-nite. Here is my problem. We have a value called nPer. This value is defined as a double (it needs to since, it perfoms lots of calculations). Now the assigment calls for the print line to display the field in its integer format. So I have done the following:
nPer=Math.ceil(nPer);
This has caused the value to be represented as 181.0. Not good enough! The value needs to be truncated and represented as 181.
The professor has provided us with directions that use the following syntax
(int)181.0
Putting that exact code in my program causes JBuilder to create an error message. Ergo, its not right. I have serached all over the tutorial looking for the proper method to resolve this, however - no luck. Could some kind sole please help??? Thank-you.

You can look at either java.math.BigDecimal, if the
true representation of the value and rounding are a
concern, or java.text.NumberFormat if it's simply a
matter of display.
Your professor must be an old C programmer. Casting a
double to an int? Oh, my. - MODBut that's what his assignment says, display it as an int. And the cast would work; I'm assuming he just didn't use it right.

6710b HD santized due to virus, need help!

Dear Cheryl, Dave, Mumba, anyone.....
As the subject stated, due to a virus which I could not clean, I did a disk sanitize....(and did it well!)
Anyway thanks to you guys and earlier post from over a year ago, I found your advice and walked through this again. I had trouble with NTLDR not found and disabled Native Sata. That allowed me to rebuild everything. Except that as I created a partition of 1200MB it did do to "C" drive and the extent of my other 180GB are on "E".
I tried early on to reboot from the OS disk, (of which it is partnered with "RestorePLUS! disk) one one has to verify the other, a real nightmare. It could not reboot from either disk (same NTLDR message)
So how can I rectify this screwup other than reinstalling everything again, if it will allow me to do so?
Two and 1/2 days.....!

Hello garysit. I understand you're having some trouble reinstalling your operating system.
Are the discs you are using to reinstall self-made recovery media or did you get them through HP?
It seems as though the media cannot be read and you'd likely need another set. The discs will, however, create their own partition scheme (which will be exactly the same as it was from the factory).
To order a set give HP Support a call at 1-800-474-6836 if you're in the US/Canada. If you're in another area you'll need to visit HP Support Worldwide to locate your region's contact information.
I will keep an eye out for your response. I hope you have a great day and a Happy Holiday!
Please click the white star under my name to give me Kudos as a way to say "Thanks!"

QuickTime Trojan Virus Need Help

So, the oother day i was downloading the newest version of itunes. A window poped up aking me i wanted to let itunes access the internet, trusting Apple, i clicked yes (This was a mistake). Now i have trojan on my computer that changes my dektop background to some warning about everything you do is saved ("your're" was typoed in it...). How do I remove this? (!THANKS ALOT APPLE)

Did you download iTunes from the Apple Site:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
That does not contain malware. If you downloaded from somewhere else, all bets are off.
Occasionally there are reports that security software has misidentified things as malware, but that usually causes problems with installation adn you would not expect to see symptoms of malware.
It is odd that your security software asked to to allow iTunes access to the internet. iTunes is normally recognised as trusted software and you don't get prompted.
Malware bytes is an excellent tool for detecting and removing malware and there is a free version:

The site also has a good forum to help you with cleaning up.

Java for Pocket PC 6700, Need Help

Somebody Please help me! I bought a Pocket PC 6700 With Windows Mobile 5.0. I am trying to run an ".aspx" java supported extension for my Scottrade streaming quotes screen on my Pocket PC. Is there ANY java programs/downloads/patches, anything that will launch this app. with what I got? Im looking for a solution to this problem. Ive came across some research of it being a liscensing problem but I would think this kind of technology would be taken advantage of at this point with these new pocket PC's
Thanks,
Eric

have a look at
http://java.sun.com/products/personaljava/
it's free.
It is quite easy to write applications in Java for Pocket PC. If your are new to Java finde a nice book buy it learn an start. To run the stuff on the Pocket PC install PJava on the device, set the classpath on the Pocket PC (there is a description how to do it in the doc files), make a jar file from your app and transfer it to the Pocket PC: ready to use.
If you have any specific questions how to use PJava go to the PersonalJava Forum.
Have Fun!

Could not find java.exe

I've installed the jdk 1.4.2 with netbeans, but as i try to execute netbeans i received an error message saying "could not find java.exe"
What do i need to do to fix this error? thanks

Okay, I just moved to a Mac, which automatically has the 1.4.2 jdk installed. So I downloaded 5.0 and NetBeans 4.1. I set the platform for a certain project (I wish I could change the default, but I don't think it will let me) to 1.5.0 but still get an error when I try to use generics and the like. What am I doing wrong?

Need help with threads?.. please check my approach!!

Hello frnds,
I am trying to write a program.. who monitors my external tool.. please check my way of doing it.. as whenever i write programs having thread.. i end up goosy.. :(
first let me tell.. what I want from program.. I have to start an external tool.. on separate thread.. (as it takes some time).. then it takes some arguments(3 arguments).. from file.. so i read the file.. and have to run tool.. continously.. until there are arguments left.. in file.. or.. user has stopped it by pressing STOP button..
I have to put a marker in file too.. so that.. if program started again.. file is read from marker postion.. !!
Hope I make clear.. what am trying to do!!
My approach is like..
1. Have two buttons.. START and STOP on Frame..
START--> pressed
2. check marker("$" sign.. placed in beginning of file during start).. on file..
     read File from marker.. got 3 arg.. pass it to tool.. and run it.. (on separate thread).. put marker.. (for next reading)
     Step 2.. continously..
3. STOP--> pressed
     until last thread.. stops.. keep running the tool.. and when last thread stops.. stop reading any more arguments..
Question is:
1. Should i read file again and again.. ?.. or read it once after "$" sign.. store data in array.. and once stopped pressed.. read file again.. and put marker ("$" sign) at last read line..
2. how should i know when my thread has stopped.. so I start tool again??.. am totally confused.. !!
please modify my approach.. if u find anything odd..
Thanks a lot in advance

Hello,
I have no experience with threads or with having more than run "program" in a single java file. All my java files have the same structure. This master.java looks something like this:
---master.java---------------------------------------------------
import java.sql.*;
import...
public class Master {
public static void main(String args []) throws SQLException, IOException {
//create connection pool here
while (true) { // start loop here (each loop takes about five minutes)
// set values of variables
// select a slave process to run (from a list of slave programs)
execute selected slave program
// check for loop exit value
} // end while loop
System.out.println("Program Complete");
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Error: " + e);
} finally {
if (rSet1 != null)
try { rSet1.close(); } catch( SQLException ignore ) { /* ignored */ }
connection.close();
-------end master.java--------------------------------------------------------
This master.java program will run continuously for days or weeks, each time through the loop starting another slave process which runs for five minutes to up to an hour, which means there may be ten to twenty of these slave processes running simultaneously.
I believe threads is the best way to do this, but I don't know where to locate these slave programs: either inside the master.java program or separate slave.java files? I will need help with either method.
Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I have a Mac running OS X 10.6.8 and have installed all updates and disabled Java Applets. Do I need to put virus protection on this computer and, if so, any recommendations?

I have a Mac running OS X 10.6.8 and have installed all updates and have disabled Java Applets. Do I need to install antivirus software and, if so, do you have a recommendation on what works best.

Mac OS X versions 10.6.7 and later have built-in detection of known Mac malware in downloaded files. The recognition database is automatically updated once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders. In most cases, there’s no benefit from any other automated protection against malware.
The most effective defense against malware is your own intelligence. All known malware that affects a fully-updated installation of Mac OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of trojans, which can only work if the victim is duped into running them. If you're smarter than the malware attacker thinks you are, you won't be duped. That means, primarily, that you never install software from an untrustworthy source. How do you know a source is untrustworthy?
Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown site, merely in order to use the site, is untrustworthy.
A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim.
“Cracked” versions of commercial software downloaded from a bittorrent are likely to be infected.
Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. No intermediary is acceptable.
Disable Java (not JavaScript) in your web browser(s). Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This setting is mandatory in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier, because Java in those versions has bugs that make it unsafe to use on the Internet. Those bugs will probably never be fixed, because those older operating systems are no longer being maintained by Apple. Migrate to a newer version of the Mac OS as soon as you can.
Follow these guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can reasonably be.
Never install any commercial "anti-virus" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use ClamXav — nothing else.

Java.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.

I installed Oracle8i on my P4 then when I reboot I get the error "java.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close." even if I click on "don't report" if keeps popping up, anything to do to resolve this?
Thanks.

Hello...
i had the same problem. then when i searched oracle documentation, it suggested as follows:
1. go to your %ORACLE_HOME%\Apache\Apache\conf\httpd.conf
2. comment out 2 lines that has
include ....\jserv.conf
include ....\oracle_apache.conf
so your new line will be:
#include ....\jserv.conf
#include ....\oracle_apache.conf
Those lines are at the end of the file.
3. save the file.
4. reboot your machine.
that solution works for me.. hope it works for you too.
GOOD LUCK!

Why do I need a second java.exe when I alreayd have another in a JDK instal

When I install JDK then there are two instances of java.exe
(and other programs like javaws.exe). One instance in
INSTALL_DIR\bin\
and the other in
INSTALL_DIR\jre\bin\
So why do I need two exes instead of one?
Peter

Hello!
So why do I need two exes instead of one?Don't know the reason myself, ask the developers..........
One instance in INSTALL_DIR\bin\
and the other in
INSTALL_DIR\jre\bin\Yes, checked that, you are right.
But , whats the problem, It hardly takes 2MB more space.
Or, were you implying that ideally java.exe and javaws.exe should not be in "INSTALL_DIR\bin\" as they are involved in running the java programs.
Thanks!

Detecting launcher (java.exe vs javaw.exe)?

I found myself wondering this morning if one could and how if one could one would detect if the launcher of a particular main(...) were java.exe or javaw.exe programatically. Or by extension could one detect if Swing interfaces were supported.
Consider that one had an application that could be launched from a command line or could be launched as a Swing windowed application. If there was a problem during startup the launcher (or if Swing was supported at the moment) might just be a relevant question when trying to give meaning full information back to the user. Trying to display information in (for example) a JOptionPane would be useless if the current environment didn't support it, and likewise if the launcher was javaw.exe sending the output to System.out or System.err would never be visible to the user.
Spitting out the System.properties yielded some interesting and useful information, but nothing that just screamed at me, "Use me to determine where to send the output."
Thoughts comments or suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
PS.

I thought headless was supposed to handle this?
http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/J2SE/Desktop/headless/
When your app was run in javaw or java on Windows,
either way your app IS allowed to open a graphical window.
So you cannot tell which way it is.
But if your app is run from the server, or via some nongraphical connection
to a UNIX machine, then supposedly headless would be true.
And you can test for that.

SQL Developer needs a "Java.exe" path......how do I determine this?

"SQL Developer" I can't get that workin.
It asks me for the "Full path to java.exe". I tried browsing to where
Java.exe is but it fails saying "Cannot find a J2SE SDK at path: C:\ yada yada blah blah"
Thoughts?

The path is to where you installed your JDK. The one you downloaded and installed manually (to fulfill the requirement for the SQLDeveloper before you downloaded that.)
If you have an Oracle database installed, you could try pointing to ORACLE_HOME/jdk
If you downloaded a JDK (note that JSE is NOT good enough) then you point to the JDK home. You would likely find a directory structure like
JDK_HOME
. |
. +---- bin - javac.exe, ...
. |
. --jre
. . . . |
. . . . +- java.exe, ...
and you enter the JDK_HOME
I would have said more had you been courteous enough to indicate your OS.

Is an anti-virus needed for a new macbook pro?

Is an anti-virus needed for a new macbook pro with retina display?

1. This comment applies to malicious software ("malware") that's installed unwittingly by the victim of a network attack. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the victim's computer. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it. If you have reason to suspect that you're the target of such an attack, you need expert help.
If you find this comment too long or too technical, read only sections 5, 6, and 10.
OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user, but internally Apple calls it "XProtect." The malware recognition database is automatically checked for updates once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
The following caveats apply to XProtect:
It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't necessarily been tested by Apple, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
For the reasons given above, App Store products, and other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. OS X security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.
4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is presumably effective against known attacks, but maybe not against unknown attacks. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
5. XProtect, Gatekeeper, and MRT reduce the risk of malware attack, but they're not absolute protection. The first and best line of defense is always your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and the malware attacker. If you're smarter than he thinks you are, you'll win.
That means, in practice, that you never use software that comes from an untrustworthy source, or that does something inherently untrustworthy. How do you know what is trustworthy?
Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one, is untrustworthy.
A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
Pirated copies or "cracks" of commercial software, no matter where they come from, are unsafe.
Software of any kind downloaded from a BitTorrent or from a Usenet binary newsgroup is unsafe.
Software that purports to help you do something that's illegal or that infringes copyright, such as saving streamed audio or video for reuse without permission, is unsafe. All YouTube "downloaders" are in this category, though not all are necessarily harmful.
Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. If it comes from any other source, it's unsafe.
Even signed applications, no matter what the source, should not be trusted if they do something unexpected, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it — not JavaScript — in your browsers.
Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a lock icon in the address bar with the abbreviation "https" when visiting a secure site.
Follow the above guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself from malware.
7. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good, if they do any good at all. Any database of known threats is always going to be out of date. Most of the danger is from unknown threats. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use one of the free anti-virus products in the Mac App Store — nothing else.
Why shouldn't you use commercial "anti-virus" products?
Their design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere.
In order to meet that nonexistent threat, the software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
By modifying the operating system, the software itself may create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
8. An anti-malware product from the App Store, such as "ClamXav," doesn't have these drawbacks. That doesn't mean it's entirely safe. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
An anti-virus app is not needed, and should not be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful only for detecting Windows malware. Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else.
A Windows malware attachment in email is usually easy to recognize. The file name will often be targeted at people who aren't very bright; for example:
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!!!!!H0TBABEZ4U!!!!!!!.AVI♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.exe
Anti-virus software may be able to tell you which particular virus or trojan it is, but do you care? In practice, there's seldom a reason to use the software unless a network administrator requires you to do it.
The ClamXav developer won't try to "upsell" you to a paid version of the product. Other developers may do that. Don't be upsold. For one thing, you should not pay to protect Windows users from the consequences of their choice of computing platform. For another, a paid upgrade from a free app will probably have the disadvantages mentioned in section 7.
9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.
10. As a Mac user you don't have to live in fear that your computer is going to be infected every time you install an application, read email, or visit a web page. But neither should you have the false idea that you will always be safe, no matter what you do. The greatest harm done by security software is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They may then feel safe enough to take risks from which the software doesn't protect them. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.
