ok I just saw your most recent reply. I uninstalled and reinstalled Java but no effect.
Should I try to restore to a previous restore point from yesterday and run all the steps again except for the java ones, or will that not restore the old Java files?
No we don't want to go back to an earlier Restore Point because some of the infections are there as well. Let me do some digging and see what we can come up with. I will return as quickly as I can.
Open the fixjava.zip file, extract and run the file fixjava.bat. If you are using Windows Vista, or Windows 7 you must right-click the fixjava.bat file and choose "Run As Administrator". If you do not see the run as administrator option, drag the fixjava.bat file to your desktop and then try to run as administrator from there.
The batch file will run briefly without confirmation.
You may now install Java without any errors about it already being installed.
Sorry, an error occurred. If you are unsure on how to use a feature, or don't know why you got this error message, try looking through the help files for more information.
The error returned was:
