Do you need Java ? 

WARNING: Java is the #1 exploited program at this time. The Department of Homeland Security recommends that computer users disable Java
See this article and this article.
I would recommend that you completely uninstall Java unless you need it to run an important software.
In that instance I would recommend that you disable Java in your browsers until you need it for that software and then enable it. (See How to diasble Java in your web browser and How to unplug Java from the browser)

[lemmon]

I disabled Java from browsers

[lemmon]

I am not sure if I need it or not
whats next

[essexboy]

Now empty the Java cache

Clear Cache/Temp Files
Download TFC by OldTimer to your desktop

• Please double-click TFC.exe to run it. (Note: If you are running on Vista, right-click on the file and choose Run As Administrator).
  
• It will close all programs when run, so make sure you have saved all your work before you begin.
  
• Click the Start button to begin the process. Depending on how often you clean temp files, execution time should be anywhere from a few seconds to a minute or two.  Let it run uninterrupted to completion.
  
• Once it's finished it should reboot your machine. If it does not, please manually reboot the machine yourself to ensure a complete clean.

Then let me know if it has gone

[lemmon]

Done.
you say "let me know if it is gone"

what is gone?

[essexboy]

Run a scan with Avast and see if the detection is no longer happening

[lemmon]

I ran avast boot scan with no detections
BUT while I was typing this...a message box popped up asking me to allow Java to make changes to my computer???
I went into control panel / programs and features and uninstalled java and java update

whats next

[essexboy]

If you have deleted Java (good move) then could you let me know of any problems you are experiencing
