2. In the Control Panel, open the "Java Plug-in Control Panel"
3. Select the Cache Tab
4. Click the Clear button inside the Cache Tab, which will clear your JRE cache directory

Or open the JRE cache folder in Explorer (C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\javapi\v1. 0\jar\) and directly delete all of the contents.

You should tell which 'pretty good' anti-virus you use. Switch it for another like Avast, AVG or AOL Active Virus Shield temporarily, scan your computer and then, after getting rid of the virus, go back to your 'pretty good' anti-virus.
1.AVG: http://www.download.com/AVG-Anti-Virus-Free-Edition/3000-2239_4-10596553.html?tag=lst-0-1
2.Avast: http://avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html
3.AOL Active Virus Shield:http://www.activevirusshield.com/antivirus/freeav/index.adp?

NEVER keep two anti-viruses on a single system, unless you want your OS to be screwed up.
