   Hi,   
      
   Recently I believe I downloaded a new version of Java to run HouseCall   
   or something, and things have pretty much sucked ever since. I use an   
   old slow computer, and whenever the Java icon shows up in the tool bar   
   in the lower right corner, things get so slow they barely move. Never having   
   had the problem before I tried to find a remove Java program, but noooo....,   
   I couldn't find one to do it. So I hunted it down with a hard drive search and   
   trashed everything I could find associated with it. Everything speeded back   
   up to normal, a few images stopped moving, and everthing else was fine.   
   I was happy with the situation until trying to start the computer next time it   
   didn't want to start anymore because some programs associated with Jave .dll   
   files or something might not work...so I could start it in safe mode and took   
   the damn thing back out of the trash. Then the computer would start again,   
   but going to some websites still engages Java, so I'm still screwed by the   
   same thing. So I tried deleting all the .exe programs associated with it,   
   hoping   
   it wouldn't work but whatever it had gotten dependant on its .dlls (or   
   whatever)   
   would still work well enough to start the computer. But doing that didn't stop   
   the damn thing...somehow it either reloads its .exe files so it can start up   
   and   
   slow everything down again, or it doesn't need them to make things suck.   
   How to successfully get rid of this thing? It's as bad as a virus to me.   
      
   Thanks for any help,   
   David
