    What is Java Worm


    Today, after my system has been idle for a couple hours, I sat down and sow a small message box saying something about Java Worm infection. The message had a row of asterisks above and below the message. Don't know what program generated the message, but I closed in and ran a few scans which found no threats.
    I googled "java worm" and found much info on this.

    I was hoping someone here could clear up my concerns about this threat.

    Hi.
    What scans did you run?
    Worms can spread throughout your entire network, and are a real pain.
    Please fill in your system specs.

    Sorry I forgot.

    I ran full scans with Super Anti-Spyware Free Edition, Windows Defender and Microsoft Safety Scanner.

    Please download and run ADWCleaner.
    Downloads - AdwCleaner - ToolsLib

    Post the log if it finds anything.
    Reboot.

    Then, Malwarebytes Antimalware (free).

    Go into the settings and check the box to scan for rootkits, then run a "full scan" of your system.

    Post the log if it finds anything.
