Hi, I needed an answer to this question so I thought I'd find a Java forum that appeared to be friendly and tolerant of those who aren't well-versed in Java. Guess who won?? :-)
In the last week, my Java console (previously utilized but never seen!) has popped up with this same exact script THREE times. Can somebody please tell me what this is trying to do and if I should be worried about a virus? I've run my main virus checker, and it showed nothing, but I have a lot of virus-checking related programs that I won't hesitate to break out immediately if someone would be so kind as to give me a clue as to what this is. I appreciate anybody's assistance. (FYI - all lines were indented with the exception of the two that begin with "java.lang.Exception:". The forum isn't holding the format.)
java.lang.Exception: fcCall{0} :no such method exists

Does anybody understand what this script is trying to do?? If it is harmless, please let me know that; if you don't have enough information to go on, please let me know that as well.
Although I continue to utilize my anti-virus resources, and none of them show anything, this has come up yet again, and reading through the script makes me think it is indeed a virus. I just don't understand why my Java console would be appearing with regularity now, when I've never seen it before.
Any help would be appreciated.

Yup, it's trying to invoke a method named "fcCall". The method doesn't exist so
it can't be found. A priviledged method tries to invoke it so it goes through a
SecurityManager. Are you trying to run an Applet?
kind regards,
Jos
