Well, you might just as soon run into a number of things on the web, which
will require Java to be installed. Your bank's homepage, just to mention one
example.
As for a number of other stuff, so also with Java. It is a kind of security
measure, that we simply have to deal with.
Good news here is, that there is a simple, user-friendly and easy to operate
solution around. Use the service you find at Ninite.com, and build an
installer. Let it hold Java, your Antivirus of choice, something like
SuperAntiSpyware or Malwarebytes, and both the versions of Flash. Then
download it, save it to an easy-to-remember place like your desktop. Give it
a simple name like "PC Security Updater". From now on, simply run this
installer, every time you want all your stuff to be updated. The service is
totally self-sufficient, quick and simple. It does all its job on its own.
If the stuff is not already on your computer, it will be downloaded and
installed. Any subsequent run, the chosen software packages will simply be
updated. No toolbars, adware or any other bloat will be installed, and the
service needs no user interaction. Simple, easy and intuitive; it just
cannot be done anything more easily.
Do you happen to have more than one computer? Simply copy the downloaded
installer to all your systems. This will solve your problems on all the
computers.
From now on, whenever you get the baloon notifying you of an update, simply
go to your installer, and run it. Further on, if you did save the installer
on the desktop, you can even give it a global hotkey. Now you can run it
from anywhere on your computer. Or, make sure to get into a habit of running
the installer, maybe something like once or twice a month. If you know how
to build a scheduled task in Windows, you will even be able to put the
installer up for regular runs. How much simpler can a manual task - or
should we rather say, a set of manual tasks - be made?

Subject: Re: java interference
If you need Java installed at all. Maybe you do, I don't know. I got
tired of it's constant update nagging and just being an additional
security risk for something that I think is mostly ever inaccessible
when it is used anyway. So I uninstalled Java.

Hello friends,
CAn someone out there tell me how to stop getting a "java updater"
message no matter in what program I am working. I don't know where to
click, as it tells me to click on this baloon to get the update. Where's
the baloon? Anyway, it's annoying. So is there any way to stop getting
this?
Using Win-XP with WE-7.5.4.1.
