I have both deployJava1.dll and npdeployJava1.dll and my system and they
appear to be part of Java. I also have WinPatrol and I see that description
on the Plus tab. That is very weird how the first paragraph says it is part
of Java and the second says it is a pretty nasty sounding virus. But, keep
in mind that viruses often use filenames of important system files, hoping
that you will recognize it and not delete it. So, I think WinPatrol is
trying to say that deployJava1.dll is usually installed by either a useful
Java update or some viruses install it also. I'm not actually finding
anything saying that those files themselves are infected, but that a few
viruses install those files. I don't see how that is useful since almost
every computer has Java installed, so the file is expected, which makes it a
fairly useless indication that you might have a virus.
Hmm, I hope I have not confused the issue... let me just say that if you
have Java installed and AVG & Malwarebytes are not finding a virus, then
don't worry about those deployJava1.dll and npdeployJava1.dll files.

Thanks again Ed! I don't know how you really techy guys know and remember
all this stuff! Have you majored in this in college, work full time as a
computer tech?
Now I have another question. This is for anyone who uses Win Patrol. I
purchased Win Patrol several years ago and I think it really helps me to
keep bad stuff away. While I was working on the Recycler folder issue I
searched through things at WinPatrol. Did not find anything helpful about
the Recycler folder but I did find a file called deployjava1.dll. I pulled
up the plus information and the information was mixed. The title said, "Do
you have a Droid?" Users had been polled and their conclusions were also
mixed. Plus info in the first paragraph said this: "Deployjava1.dll is an
ActiveX control that installs with version 6, update 20 (or later) of the
Java Plugin (Java Runtime Environment) from Sun Microsystems. You'll also
find a file called npdeployjava1.dll. In earlier versions, these files were
called deploytk.dll and npdeploytx.dll. If you've seen a warning regarding
these files immediately after installing or updating your Java Runtime
Environment, you can consider it safe. You can always find the latest Java
Runtime Environment (JRE) at http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp";.
The second paragraph was more alarming and at the end it was classified as a
virus and told to remove.
I found this in the column labeled recent but it was first detected on
8-20-10.
I have often disabled things to see if I notice any difference in my
computer's performance but I have never removed anything so I am reluctant
to do that. I do not see disable as a choice in this instance. And my
scans with AVG and Malwarebytes have never targeted any virus.
I would appreciate input from anyone familiar with WinPatrol and or this
file. Ed? Anyone?
Sandi
