    Hi, having huge problems! Firstly i think my sun java has messed up because when i try to remove it from add/remove... its not there. I go on the sun java site and it says its the latest one but when i click test JVM it just closes. Another problem i think i'm having because of this is that limewire just won't open. i click on it and nothing. I have tried turning off my internet security entirely and it still does nothing so i know its not that. i really need to remove sun java and reinstall it properly but even with windows install clean up, it just doesn't appear to be there so there's no way of removing it... please help!! cheers, Adam.

    Welcome to MG's

    Sounds like you have a mal/spyware problem-
    -Disclaimer: Limewire is no good and a great way to keep getting infected(any torrent engine is)----no to mention the whole legal issues......

    I don't think its malware related... done all the steps with no success...

    This tool is used to remove Java: http://majorgeeks.com/download5967.html

    When it's done running you should do a search and delete folders and other findings manually. Then install new Java.
