I found this while looking for some help for you:

Follow the instructions there, or if your capable of fixing your machine:
Open your task manager and look for what is out of place. Then tell it to close the process.

Once the process is closed you will have to find out where the file that was loaded was saved, you should be able to delete that, however you'll need to clean the registry of it's startup entry.

That is not related to java. Java is generally very secure with very few viruses exploiting it(and even then they do f-all). Java applets are prohibited from adding executables to your system, writing to the registry, etc etc. This is most likely linked to Kazaa/ Outlook Distress/IE. There is a patch for distress, although you shouldn't use Outlook (or IE), IMHO(try opera, firefox, the bat, pegasus), and you should use Kazza Lite. By doing that you make your computer about 50 times safer.

Your particular problem is the result of MSs half-assed internet security manager which doesn't adequately verify the trust level of particular url and so runs it as if it were on the local machine. If only it were half as stringent as the JVM..

This can be fixed with adaware, Spybot or any other ad-ware remover.
