JAVA update popup on DavesGarden this am cost me 6 hrs time

Ramona, CA

Went to DavesGarden early this am to post a pic of a Grub I wanted to identify. What happened next was a 6 hour computer fix...because I tried to open a pic in Bug File and a Popup told me I needed to Update Java. What I got with Java Update was 4 Software Programs that Hijacked all my Browsers, IE, Firefox, Chrome. Have spent 6 hours getting rid of what I can. In my Browser Tools Internet Options was Trovi....it's BAD, and very difficult to get rid of. Still can't get rid of Web Protect for Windows as it is called in my C-Drive. THIS POST is to inform people to just Be AWARE of JAVA. The fact it popped up on DavesGarden when I was trying to view a picture, just really ticks me off.
