With coolwebsearch threats that prey on microsoft vm vulnerabilities it is
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you REMOVE microsoft VM COMPLETELY!

In order to do this follow the steps below:
- close any internet explorer windows running
- click start, run, type in the following line exactly as shown
  RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchInfSection java.inf,Uninstall
- click yes to the prompt
- delete the following files
   %SYSROOT%\java
   %SYSROOT%\inf, file named java.pnf
   %SYSROOT%\system32, files jview.exe, wjview.exe
- delete the following registry keys
   HLM\Software\Microsoft\Java VM
   HLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AdvancedOptions\JAVA_VM

Microsoft Java VM should now be removed, for a safer java alternative 
install Sun Java..which can be downloaded at
java.sun.com
