JS:Pdkfa-gen[Expl]

Hi,

found this virus JS:Pdkfa-gen[Expl] when I did a scan. I will move it to my chest, and it was in my sandboxie anyway. Anything to worry about?

I ran it through virustotal and this is what it came up with.

How do I update java? I'm not the most computer proficient.

Thanks, I uninstalled JS2E, and installed what I think is the new one, Java 7 Update 13 - is this correct?
