Program Used to Run

Death Killington

I downloaded Shoddybattle several days ago and it worked fine. Today however, when I tried to run it, (IIRC) every server showed up as empty. Then, about a minute or two later, a message popped up saying an unknown program was trying to access the internet and could be harmful to my computer. I chose to quarantine it, I assumed it wasn't Shoddybattle. So I tried to run Shoddybattle again, but this time, it said it could not find javaws. So I tried to run the command that is listed in the main site of Shoddybattle.com. Again, the javaws message showed up. So I deleted Shoddybattle and tried to download it again. Now, when I try to run it, it says it needs to be opened with an application. This did not happen the first time I downloaded Shoddybattle. But when I try to run it with Firefox for example, all it does is open a new Firefox tab.

So is something wrong? What program do I run it with (and Shoddy does not show up in the available list)?
 
The program used to run the file you download is Java Web Start (javaws). This is part of Java, so if you don't have it, you may need to install Java.
 
If I didn't have it before, how come it worked then and not now?

I installed Java, but the "which program to you want to use to run Shoddy" shows up. There is nothing in the javaws folders and it still doesn't want to run.
 
From what i can tell, Shoddy was running with javaws and it was trying to connect to the internet to get the server list and then communicate to other players, but you decided to block/quarantine javaws. Either reinstall java or figure out how to unquarantine it.
