Start - Run - MSConfig.exe

Look for the line invoking it - which may turn out to be indirect
through wjview.exe - and uncheck it. Exit - do not bother to reboot,
but next time you do there will be a message about 'Troubleshooting'.
Check the 'Do not show again' box and exit

It is trying to run a Java program - which may have been a nasty - and
the actual java has been removed
