Java Virtual Machine Launcher problem

[cdrabitoy]

When my Dell boots up, I get the pop up window titled "Java Virtual Machine Launcher" with the big red "X" in it that has a "OK" button to continue. The message says "Could not find the main class. Program will exit.

I am running XP and everything else seems to be running OK.

This is nothing critical but more of annoyance. What do I need to do to get rid of this message?

Hiya and welcome

Are you still having this problem? Looking around, it may be related to spyware, so lets start there:

First of all, lets take a look at a log. go to http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.zip , and download 'Hijack This!'.
Unzip, doubleclick HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".

When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log" button.
Press that, save the log somewhere, and please copy & paste its contents to the forum.

It will possibly show other issues deserving our attention, but most of what it lists will be harmless or even required, so do NOT fix anything yet.
Someone here will be happy to help you analyze the results.


Regards

eddie

Hi cdrabitoy,

This problem may be either spyware for which eddie5659 is helping resolve with HJT - I, however, am not a HJT expert so cannot help you that way.

Check out Error Messages, WJView Error: "Could not find the main class" at http://www.java.com/en/download/help/wjview.xml

It looks like to me that at bootup you have an item in your startup list related to Java, i.e. C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_04\bin\jusched.exe which is the SunJavaUpdateSched which IMHO does not need to run at startup.

Do not fix this with HJT, although it is possible.

Check to see if this is in your startup list by running msconfig.exe from Start->Run->msconfig->Ok on the Startup tab. If it is, then uncheck it and reboot. Was it in your startup? Do you still have the problem on bootup?

this is likely to be the problem
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [WebRebates] javaw -cp "C:\Program Files\WebRebates\System\Code" Main lp: "C:\Program Files\WebRebates"

boot into safe mode by following instructions here: http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2001052409420406

Run hijackthis, put a tick in the box beside these entries listed below and ONLY these entries, double check to make sure, then make sure all browser & email windows are closed and press fix checked

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [WebRebates] javaw -cp "C:\Program Files\WebRebates\System\Code" Main lp: "C:\Program Files\WebRebates"

then as some of the folders you need to delete may be hidden do this:
Open Windows Explorer & Go to Tools > Folder Options. Click on the View tab and make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is checked. Also uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" and untick "hide extensions for known file types" . Now click "Apply to all folders"
Click "Apply" then "OK"

delete these folders

C:\Program Files\WebRebates
