External information from Paul Collins:

"JavaVM" definitely not required. Added by the MYDOOM.M or MYDOOM.N WORMS! Note - not to be confused with the valid Windows "java.exe" which resides in C:\Windows\System (Win9x/Me), C:\Winnt\System32 (WinNT/2K) or C:\Windows\System32 (WinXP) as this resides in C:\Windows or C:\Winnt

Important: Some malware camouflage themselves as java.exe, particularly if they are located in c:\windows or c:\windows\system32 folder. Thus check the java.exe process on your pc whether it is pest. We recommend Security Task Manager for verifying your computer's security. It is one of the Top Download Picks of 2005 of The Washington Post and PC World.
