I've virus-scanned, reset my browser settings and done a few searches for
solution on the net, but I'm still getting this crap.

I go to to a web page and it redirects for another page saying I need
a Java update, which is B.S.

Going to any web page might bring it up; I even got it from mlb.c0m tonight.

Help, if you can.

Thanks TFresh.

I've actually got both on my computer.
I do regular crap-cleaner jobs and I did a quick scan with malware to try and
nix it.

I'm just doing a full scan, now, with security essentials and then I'm going to
do a full scan with malwarebytes and then another crap clean and who knows.

The searches I've done claims there's some program or such running but I
can't find any nastiness to get rid of.

Computers can sure be a pain in the ass.

As always - Please be super careful when making changes to your registry

Run the ccleaner registry editor that makes a backup for you before proceeding

Good Luck

And, yes, I did the registry clean with cc so maybe that fixed it.
I have I feeling it might come back but I'll cross that bridge whenevas.
