Pop ups that prompt security software downloads

[Guest]

I am getting pop ups (actually pop unders) that prompt me to download
something called w32.rontokbro.z@mm amoung other things. When i close this
window it opens a new window with this address:
http://www.amaena.com/securityworm2/?aid=mgwav5&lid=net. Can someone suggest
somethig? I have a hijack this file (my browser is not hijacked, i think).
Thanks for any help you can give.

Hi Oat;
Looks like Vundo at work again. See this forum:

Also, you need to make sure your on the latest release of Sun Java, version
1.5.0.06
as there are security holes in earlier versions that Vundo exploits.

From a window's command prompt (i.e. programs>accessories>command prompt)
type "java -version"

That seems to have done it. Java is updated and no pop-ups. Thanks for your
help. You are a saint. I'll post again if there are problems.
