Is your computer directly connected to the internet or connnected to internet via gateway or router, that may be another computer in your local area network connection?

If your computer is a standalone, then the problem might have arised due to virus infections. You can just locate a file file in c:\windows\java\java.dll, if this file exists then it's the problem of virus. this virus can be removed with the updated AVG antivirus, even with the free edition. Try it out.
