O2 - BHO: (no name) - {7E853D72-626A-48EC-A868-BA8D5E23E045} - (no file)
… but I am no expert and it would be best to wait for another opinion.
That’s very old java, it should be updated.
Open an Internet Explorer (only) window and go to http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp > Scroll down to “Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 5…allows end-users to run Java applications”.
Click the download button on the right.
If Information Bar pop-ups up, right-click on it and say it’s OK to display the blocked content.
You do not have to install the Java Web Start ActiveX Control
Accept the license agreement > Click on Windows (XP,Vista, .etc) Offline Installation, Multi-language and Save the file jre-6u5-windows-i586-p.exe to your desktop; do not Run it. or install it yet.
When the download is complete, Open Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs:
Uninstall anything that says Sun Java, Java JRE, or similar.
Close Add/Remove Programs.
In Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files\Java <=this folder, if found. Delete any subfolders it may contain.
Do NOT delete C:\Program Files[b]JavaVM[/b] <=this folder, if found!
Reboot your computer.
Double-click on the saved file to install the update.
Delete the downloaded installation file after completing the above procedure and reboot if not prompted to do so.
thanks for the help guys
Hi :
There is a lot more than just an “old” Java ; she’s using AOL"Hell" with its
associated, outdated AIM . Would definitely recommend she visit
http://jayloden.com/aimfix.htm and run the FREE program there, quite
possibly on a frequent basis .
In addition, she has an outdated version of Adobe Reader, and since it
appears to be under frequent “attack” by the Makers of “Malware”,
recommend it be uninstalled and use the “safer” Foxit Reader", which has Info
at www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php .
Since she has a “Dell”, would recommend she visit www.pcdecrapifier.com and
consider using the FREE program there .

Consider the analysis here: http://www.hijackthis.de/logfiles/7fceff8825345bd0c3f31a397c0a7a42.html

What is Viewpoint Manager?
Viewpoint Manager (viewmgr.exe) is a file associated with either the Viewpoint Media Player or Viewpoint Toolbar. It manages the downloads and updates of the Viewpoint products. According to Viewpoint, the manager program will check for new updates once a day.
Viewpoint Media Player is a browser plug-in that enables users to view rich media content on the web. The player is used for AOL © Instant Greetings, AIM Themes, and other web applications. In other words, its similar to other programs like Flash, Quicktime, RealPlayer and other applications.
The Viewpoint Toolbar is a search application powered by Yahoo!. Neither the toolbar or media player are required by Windows to operate, they are merely add-on programs to the web.
Is Viewpoint Manager or associated programs considered spyware?
Since the Viewpoint programs do not track, collect, or sell information they are not considered spyware.

I don’t usually worry to much about viewpoint, especially on a machine using Aol. If no Aol, I give them the option.
I use aol for communication with friends i just dislike that viewpoint comes with it
You can do the removal as suggested by polonus, but heed the warning at the end, it may come back.
