Ok I used the Microsoft Intall Utility and deleted the old Java and reinstalled the new Java and it worked! You're the best.

Do you still want me to run Kaspersky? Also, someone got access to my credit card information (probably when I ordered something online) and tried using it. Would that be from maybe that Stolen.data virus or one of the others? Can I use this computer for that purpose anymore?

No, we ran Eset, your system is clean now

I didn't see anything that could have been a backdoor, but you may have cleared it off earlier. There's always a risk using a Credit Card over the internet. The best you can do is to take strong precautions. Don't use bittorent software like limewire. Don't install hacks or cracks, they're invariably infected. Run a good AV and a good Firewall. Comodo is a brilliant firewall, better than commercial products and a thousand times better than the windows one

Secunia keeps your versions updated, or at least gives you the information to do so. Personally I wouldn't touch it - have a read of this

Ok, I downloaded and installed everything you recommended so I'll uninstall the Uniblue. Thank you again for all your help. I've been trying to fix this computer for over a month. I almost through it out the window. You fixed it and I am very thankful to you. If I can give you props to anyone on this website that matters, let me know and I will. I appreciate all your time and effort.
Thank you azarl. :) :) :) :)
