How do I disable the "This publisher could not be verified." warning?!

I'm trying to play Runescape (nerd much?) and I keep getting the stupid Java "This publisher could not be verified." warning. I don't believe i have gpedit.msc however I do have regedit.

Welcome to Windows Seven Forums.

I don't want to preach, but before you disable warnings of this kind you may wish to consider you have a possible virus infection.

I'd be inclined to run a full virus scan in Safe Mode, for which Malwarebytes is highly recommended.

Malwarebytes : Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is a free download that removes viruses and malware from your computer

I tried to boot into safe mode, and it got stuck on .../.../AtiPcie.sys so I let it be, figuring it would be okay. A little after that, the laptop shut down and started up as usual.

Have you checked in Device Manager to see if there is a problem with your graphics drivers?

Also, it probably won't hurt to run the system file checker as this tutorial explains:

I'm doing the CMD thing now. I just used Malwarebytes on the normal, unsafe mode. It found 6 errors (even a keylogger, yikes!) so I had it remove them. I'm not going to lie, I'm a little scared. I've never typed in credit card info or a Facebook password on my laptop, so hopefully it doesn't have any real important stuff. I'll post back when its done- 28% now.

OK, we await your findings with interest.

Did that. Still nothing. Am I royally f*cked? :shock:

Is your Windows up to date? What version of Java do you have installed?--Listed in Uninstall list.

I have the newest Java as stated in the link you posted above. Everything is up to date. I'm going to reformat my hard drive soon anyways as it is very slow so that'll probably fix it.
