Kaspersky vs Java.exe detected as virus - Need help!

843798Sep 5 2008 — edited Sep 14 2008
Hi,

Just installed yesterday Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 on my VISTA Ultimate 32 bits laptop. After doing a complete analysis, it reported out of a total of 3 the following threats:
c:\windows\system32\java.exe
c:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0\bin\java.exe

What can I do with these?

Honestly, I don't know really as I'm far from being an expert with JAVA.

In conclusion, what do I do with these 2 files? Here is an item I could find from my VISTA "programs install/uninstall" window:
"JAVA(TM) SE Runtime Environment 6"

To solve my threat warnings:
- do I need to update this to a newer version? If so how?
- put files to quarantine as they suggest?
- do anything else?

Thanks in advance for help!
