• "ESET found a threat and can't delete it" notification
• Your ESET product has detected a virus in the Java cache directory

A  cache directory is a temporary storage location. When your browser runs an applet or application, Java stores files in its cache directory for better performance. Typically your system empties the cache directory on a pre-determined schedule, however if a virus is discovered in the cache directory we recommend that you clean the cache manually.

I. Clear the Java cache from the Control Panel
