That is easy to do. Simply delete your Java Cache by following the directions below:

After removal, you should go to the Sun / Java website and make sure you have the latest version of Java JRE to prevent further infection. And go to Windows Update and update your Windows. Windows issued a patch for this vulnerability a long time ago! Sounds like you are way behind in keeping your Windows OS updated!
However, it is doubtful that Shinwow alone could cause all of the problems that your computer is having. My guess is that you have a bunch more malware, other than just Shinwow.
Good luck.
