Hi, Sorry if this is in the wrong section, I have no idea where to put this or if anyone here can help me but I'm a bit confused at the moment, a few days ago I was trying to log into a game called Runescape and I got this virus message come up and it's called "EXP/JAVA.Rafold.V.Gen"
I google searched it and not a lot came up, one site said it was false and another said it needs to be removed immediately but then started talking in computer language that I can't understand :p
If anyone can help me I'd appreciate it, also if it is dangerous then I'd also appreciate it if you spoke in dummy language as I don't understand complex things haha.
Oh and I've also just completed a virus scan and it's come up with 9 detections, all the same detection but different "objects" listed as;
391c53c6-1601faa7
3a4cc271-3295eba8 etc. if they help in any way I can post them all
Thanks.

Antivirus programs can sometimes have false positives. In this case I don't know if its legitimate or a false positive. What you should do is scan with multiple programs and if multiple programs agree that this is a virus then you know what to do. Download, update and scan with Malwarebytes. http://www.malwarebytes.org/mwb-download/
