I recently had to get my computer rebooted using a fake operating system of XP due to a virus. But i can't get Java anymore! I can't validate my system as it requires that do proceed with the download. Is there anyway i can get it...?

Huh? You should be downloading the Java JRE from Sun, not Microsoft. Why do you need to validate the OS to install Java? Maybe I'm completely missing something.
 
I do download it from sun but when you download it it then comes up and tells me that my computer hasnt got a validated xp on it so it can't continue with the download.
