In the past few days I've learnt that CWS infections occur because of an exploit in Microsoft's Java Virtual Machine and that this can be uninstalled safely thus preventing the problem from recurring.

I'm contemplating doing so but thought I'd check here before carrying out the following procedures:
Removing MJVM
Patching the Registry
Installing Sun's JVM

I plan to use Microsoft Java Virtual Machine v1.1.4 Removal Tool.

Can anyone recommend a reliable location from which to download these tools?

Not sure if I should enact these kind of changes in the first place and I'd appreciate some good advise.

Not going to do anything hasty.

 

Removing MS JVM should be easy if you follow these instructions:-

AutoPatcher also has this option in its list to do it automatically.
