javainfo.exe

[Tribun]

There had happend something, that I not really understand.

Once one popup opend, my firewall alerted me, that a "javainfo.exe" wanted access to the internet. I closed all windows, then denied. It came again, other port, then again and again. ~5 seconds after I blocked the last attempt.
So I blocked and made a quick shutdown. After restart, there were no more attempts, and I found the file in "Windows/java/javainfo.exe". It was created, exactly, when the attempts started, so I changed it's ending, and restart without problems, and there are still no problems.

My question, is that some sort of dialer, that attempted to install on my computer? There are now no attitional new files created, and no foreign tasks running(I checked both).
And by the way, I use DSL and a router, so even if it was a dialer, it would have been useless, right?

Uninstall the Microsoft JVM -- it has been end-of-lifed by court order. If you need Java apps, download Sun's JRE.
