I will be happy to give you a list. First thing though is you should go to SunJava and download new java. I recommend using the manual install instructions.

Also download SpywareBlaster
Which will: Prevent the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted software.
Block spyware/tracking cookies in Internet Explorer and Mozilla/Firefox.
Restrict the actions of potentially unwanted sites in Internet Explorer.
Be sure to enable the Restricted Sites portion of the program too.

It seems as though I was a bit hasty in assuming that I was all clear as my girlfriend went back to america for 3 weeks and upon arrival the computer was slow and so I scanned it and my friend mr. blackcore is back. Can you assist me again so I can get rid of this friggin thing. I dont know if we have a security leak or it wasnt gone in the first place but I could use the help... Talk to you soon. Just tell me what to do.
