Dont blame gameguy

That is the legit file name, file mirrors is a place to download the file you want under that filename.

If someone renamed a 'trojan' to that filename, then of course gameguy cannot be blamed for that now can he?

And how do you know its a trojan?

I did not blame gameguy... yeah it sounds like it but I was not blaming him.. I was complaining to him and want to make everyone aware of that also...

I don't know for sure it's a trojan. The file is over 5meg but when executed, it does nothing but write some dll file to the WINDOWS\System32 and write a short DOS script... and the file does not have it's own legitmate install icon.. it has windows default application icon...

this is an old version of the file, but the new one has the same icon.

scan the file for viruses, it might be the normal installer. try loading some java applets, do they load? look in internet options, on the advanced page. there should be a section for the microsoft java VM. if not, it's not installed and that's either the wrong file or it had an error installing.

try launching it from a command prompt, that should let you see what it outputs in the dos box.

Yeh doesnt sound like a legit prog

http://java-virtual-machine.net/download.html

Download from there, should be version 3809

DOWNLOAD

Now cos MS dont have a outright JavaVM offically anymore, they do however update. In other words, you need a old version of VM to install the newer 3810 version from Windows Update.

Kinda sux but blame a slow SunJava and a lawsuit for that.
