Looks like a virus to me - coming in with a Jave script. I think they are pretty common. But I would ask Corrine or Jacee for an opinion. "Remove" is probably the smart thing to do. And I hope you have plenty of prior images in case you need to reset.

After your responses and a bit of googling decided to recover from an image and wipe the partition instead. All looks well again now.

I have infact gone as so far as to remove Java totally from all my installs. If its going be be a risk I'd rather not have it, considering how many sites still use it its not worth it

I had the impression that it was not Java per se which gave you a problem, but a Java script that was floating around. You may need Java later so eradicating it may not be such a good idea.
What is the use of java?

I am by no means a security expert but whilst googling I came across a chart illustrating how most pc are infected and Java was at the top of the list for security flaws. Like I said Im not an expert and it may have been a bit rash removing Java totally but I will see how I go without it and if the need arises will re-install, but up to now all my regular sites run fine.
Thanks for the help whs

Fair enough. Trial and error is as good a method as any other.

From the screenshot it shows the malicious item is in the cache, you can flush out the java cache pretty easily
Go into the Control Panel and double-click the Java Icon.
On the General tab, under Temporary Internet Files, click the Settings button.
Next, click on the Delete Files button
There are two options in the window to clear the cache - Leave BOTH Checked
Applications and Applets
Trace and Log Files
Click OK on Delete Temporary Files Window
Note: This deletes ALL the Downloaded Applications and Applets from the CACHE.
Click OK to leave the Temporary Files Window
Click OK to leave the Java Control Panel.
