Microsoft Security Essentials Problem

nothing, right now i'm doing a full scan

EDIT: it takes too long for a full scan, i cancelled it. Anyway, the quick scan didn't detect anything, so i think i'm safe now.

Let’s check the Security status with the following...

Download Security Check:
http://screen317.spywareinfoforum.org/
Save to your Desktop.

Double-click SecurityCheck.exe

Follow the on-screen instructions inside the black box.
When done, a Notepad report opens automatically: checkup.txt

Post checkup.txt in your reply, and, please do not take any corrective actions!!

Java is out dated . We will wait to see what cottonball says what the next step is

Folder - Delete from Command Prompt

Use:
RD /S /Q "C:\FRST"


Please Verify Java Version
Uncheck any toolbar and/or software offered with the Java update.

The Java Quick Starter (JQS.exe) that comes along adds a service to improve the initial startup time of Java applets and applications. If you don't want to run another extra service, go to:
Start > Control Panel > Java > Advanced > Miscellaneous
Uncheck the box for: Java Quick Starter
Click OK and restart your computer.

Next, please remove any old Java version and its remnants...
Download JavaRa:
http://download.thewebatom.net/4eeb2b43dbb4b/JavaRa-1.16-16-12-11.zip
Save to the Desktop and unzip it.

Right click on JavaRa.exe, and select: Run As Administrator
Choose the language of your choice and click: Select
Click: Remove Older Versions
Accept any prompts as they appear.

i've successfully installed the latest version of Java using 'Verify Java Version' service, and after that i removed the old one using JavaRa : JavaRa.log
However, despide the latest java version is version 7 update 21 (tells me when i'm verifying java version with Mozilla), when i hit Control Panel-Java-General-About, it tells me that i have the old version, version 6 update 26. I'm confused.

When i try to verify Java version with Internet Explorer, it tells me that it's unable to verify.


I can't delete FRST folder, inside it is now only one folder called 'Quarantine'

brato92,

We need to use FRST again in order to remove C:\FRST\Quarantine\* the directory is not empty

Please do the following...

Open Notepad (Start > All Programs > Accessories > Notepad)
Copy/paste all the contents of the quote box below to Notepad (do not copy the word 'Quote').
Save it on the Desktop as: fixlist.txt

start
Folder: c:\frst\quarantine
cmd: dir /a/s c:\frst\quarantine
cmd: rd /q/s c:\frst\quarantine
Folder: c:\frst\quarantine
End

Run FRST from the Desktop again, press the Fix button once.
Please post Fixlog.txt in your reply.
