That is understandable!

But, if you hang around the wonderful world of malware for any length of time, you'll find that the "big boys" are dreadfully slow in addressing some of the more popular and ever-mutating threats. This is especially true for the Vundo family of trojans (which, if you do not update your Java, you may soon become acquainted with), Smitfraud, and your baddie, Wareout.
For each of those, there is a "generic tool" devised by hotshots in the anti-malware community that is FAR preferable to and more effective than anything else!!
An example of one of these GREAT tools that has been used countless times is here---> Dave's World. Check it out!



Anyhoo, until Judy checks back, I suggest doing the following:


FIRST:
You should definitely Update your Java here ---> http://www.java.com/en
-Then, look in Add/Remove Programs and Remove ALL traces of all older Java versions! If you do not uninstall ALL older versions, you may remain at risk for a number of baddies such as Vundo.

THEN:
--- Download ATF-Cleaner.exe by Atribune to your Desktop.
-- Click on ATF-Cleaner to run it
-- Where it says Select Files To Delete, Check the Select All Option
-- Click Empty Selected > OK > EXIT
This will flush the Java Cache, among other things.

Also:
Please go here ---> http://virusscan.jotti.org/
-- Navigate to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DMXAS.EXE and upload it for analysis just to verify that it is indeed a baddie.
-- Let Judy know what you find.

Best Luck
