Something is blocking Java and I do not know what

Question

Something is blocking java on my computer but I don't know what. I have Kaspersky installed and I suspected it caused the problem. I tested to shut down Kaspersky and something still blocks Java.

If I boot in safe mode all works well, so some program is definitely blocking java. The picture in the screen is in Swedish and says:

Security settings have stopped the application

Name: DrawTest

Location: file://

security settings have stopped a local application from running

I suspect that this is caused by java itself but when I try to disable java security from the Control Panel it still stops applets and other java programs.

It looks like Java is stopping your Java applet from running. It's all about security for Java at the moment after a few embarrassing security holes.

Three options mentioned in the above question...

• Use AppletViewer, the guy mentions Appleteer though the link has rotter.
• Lower your Java security settings to medium. Increases your vulnerability.
• Add the address (with the file://) to your exceptions list. Has to change each time the address changes.
