Hi AgentFrog,

I'm sorry you're having problems getting Java installed. Lets try this.

Please download and install the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility.
Once installed, find the program on your start menu and run it. Find and remove any Java Runtime listings you
find then try the installation again.

Let me know if this works.
The site where I run the free scan has the WebOfTrust firefox add on flagging it, with people saying it distributes malware and viruses. Should I proceed regardless? I tried downloading the registry booster but it didn't work, my firewall was disabled and everything but it wouldn't display its page.
Hi AgentFrog,

Lets try Revo Uninstaller, if that doesn't work then I need to have you post over at the Tech fourm so they can help you. If this doesn't work then please
post in the Tech fourm post the link to where you were being help. http://forums.whatthetech.com/index.php?showtopic=120394

If you still have Revo Uninstaller follow the instructions below, if you removed it please download it again.

Download and install the Revo Uninstaller
  • Double click the new Revo Uninstaller icon on your desktop to start the program
  • Scroll through the listed programs and Right Click on the program you wish to uninstall
  • From the pop out menu choose Uninstall
  • Click Yes to the confirmation dialogue
  • In the next window select the Advanced mode
  • Click Next to start uninstalling the program
  • Answer Yes to confirm the uninstall
  • When the program has completed the four steps, click Next to allow the program to search for leftovers
  • Once complete, click Next, then Finish
  • Repeat the above steps for any other programs you wish to remove.

Let me know how it went.
It failed. I tried deleting the registry keys but they just came back because I couldn't uninstall it totally. I'll go to the tech forum. Edit: I don't have permission to post a new topic in that forum.
