Default javasys.exe


I have zone alarm telling me that javasys.exe is trying to access the
internet. Might be a silly question, but what is javasys.exe?

1) Download the following item...

Adaware SE
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/

2) Update Adaware with latest definitions.
3) If you are using WinME or WinXP, disable System Restore
http://vil.nai.com/vil/SystemHelpDoc...SysRestore.htm
4) Reboot your PC into Safe Mode
5) Using Adaware SE, perform a Full Scan of your platform and clean/delete
any parasites found.
6) Restart your PC and perform a "final" Full Scan of your platform using Adaware
7) If you are using WinME or WinXP,Re-enable System Restore and re-apply any
System Restore preferences, (e.g. HD space to use suggested 400 ~ 600MB),
Reboot your PC.
9) If you are using WinME or WinXP, create a new Restore point
10) Please report back your results

Its not spyware its sun java trying to access the net. Some java
program you've installed is accessing the internet.

Only program I use that does this is Azureus.

What if an infector was renamed to be the named file; javasys.exe ?

This is often the case of SVCHOST.EXE which is the target name (or variations of it) of many
infectors and parasites.
