ok I had uninstalled Java 6 Update 23 just to check something
So at this point I do not have Java on my system
However, when I go to
C:\Windows\System 32
I still see this item
deployJava1.dll
Now I do not have Java installed as verified by the Java text page
There is no java in C:\Programs
There is no java in programs when I check via the Start>Control Panel>Programs> Programs and Features
I googled deployJava1.dll and some of the things that show up in google, give the impression that it is malware and possibly a rootkit
But when I check the file I have it is:
Signed by Sun Microsystems
Shows version as 6.0.230.5
Has a created date of 4/17/10 and a modified date that coinicides when I DID install Java 6 Update 23
so
1. Is this a malicous file?
2. why this file is still on my machine, even after I uninstalled java 6 Update 23?
(is it one of thos eleft over pieces/quirks things?)
****I will not be deleting it unless instructed by trusted sources to do so
