Java updater constantly popping up

I am not a Java user as such, but obviously some of the programs I use are.
Every two or three days I get the 'Java updater' aplet popping up on my screen when I turn on my computer.
I have clicked "OK" to install the update, and proceeed using my programs.
a day or so later, the process is repeated. This has been gouing on for months.
I cannot believe that Java needs such frequent updating on my computer, and cannot find anywhere to get assistance for this problem.
If anybody has any ideas about this, or can direct me somewhere for a resolution I would appreciate your help,
Thanks,
John

Before mucking around in a Windows registry, try the following (much safer):
In WinXP:
Start button --> Settings --> Control Panel
Find and doubleclick the icon for Java.
Select the Update tab and get rid of the checkmark at "Check for Updates Automatically".
If there's an extra popup that gives you a choice for "never update", then pick it.
At that control panel page you will need to click Apply and Okay.
Close Control Panel and you're done.
Microsoft Vista:
Start Button --> Control Panel
Do the same thing as described for XP except select Classic View and you will be able to find the icon for Java.
The rest of the procedure is essentially the same but for any interruptions by Vista's User Account Control that might show up. (You say `yes` to those.)

    Sorry that's untrue. I have Photoshop CS3 running on 10.9.
    CS9 or 10? Now you are just making stuff up.
    Adobe claim CS3 will work, with a minor issue…

    The Adobe updater fails to work for me.
    I was prompted to install J6RE which came from Apple, check the Apple support downloads http://support.apple.com/downloads/#java%206
    Sorry can't provide a direct link, it was just a dumb 'You need … please click install' dialog.
    I think the 10.9 java updater is installing version 7.

  • Updated to 10.9.4 (Mavericks). Now a fake 'java' update request keeps popping up.

    Howdy!  I updated my MacBook Pro recently to 10.9.4 (Mavericks).  Update went fine, except for one issue.
    Several times a day since the update, a Software Update window pops up prompting me to install an update to run 'java.'  See the attached screen capture image.
    As you can see, it looks pretty fishy.  For one thing, there's no "decline" option: simply "Not Now" or "Install."  For another, they couldn't even capitalize "java."  And Software Updates claims that all of my programs are up to date.
    I'm assuming this is some kind of virus/malware.  But, scans of my computer don't show anything nefarious installed on my machine.
    I keep hitting "Not Now" every time this window pops up.  But, I'm afraid one day I'll accidentally hit "Install" (especially since it pops up without warning).  Any suggestions or advice on how to deal with this?
    Thanks!

  • Type Error: oE Started immediately after Auto Java update! Other threads just started but doesn't mention the relationship! Firefox reset does not correct

    Problem correlates exactly with the Java update time per event viewer! Problem is starting to gain traction as more users experience same! Can’t determine how to fix? Maybe an error in the Java update?

    I have also been having this problem, starting today, although my Firefox doesn't crash/close when the error box pops up - I can just close the box and carry on browsing.
    However, as with the person in the thread listed above, I found that disabling McAfee SiteAdvisor seems to stop it happening (it happened fairly at random, but in about half an hour of browsing with it disabled, I haven't had the error pop up, compared to within a few minutes when SiteAdvisor is enabled). It looks like there was also a SiteAdvisor update today, so that also correlates with the onset of this problem. Are other people getting this problem using SiteAdvisor? I don't know much about the mechanics of SiteAdvisor - could there be a link with Java too?
    Using Firefox 27.0, Windows 7 SP1, McAfee SiteAdvisor 3.6.5, Java 10.45.2.18.

  • Java update

    In this thread here http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?128@@.59b82baf the OP appears to lay the blame for a corrupted Preferences file firmly at the Java updates door.
    Now I know less than nothing about Java let alone what it does but this morning I received a pop-up advising me that an application was trying to use Java and that an update was available (or words to that effect). As I had no applications running at the time I can only assume that it was tied to something within the startup programmes (Windows). Could someone kindly tell me what exactly is Java, what it's used for and is there a way to find out what application is requesting the update?
    Having finally got CS4 and Lightroom to run in the way that they were designed following numerous graphic card updates (three in the last month I think) etc etc I am reluctant to download/update something that (a) I might not require and (b) run the risk of upsetting what appears to be a temperamental Photoshop from what I read in other posts. Thanks.

    ElliR,
    I am the OP of the article that you refer to. My comments were just an observation of what was happening on my system, at the time that my prefs file became corrupted. Since I had never experienced a corrupted prefs file in decades, it struck me as odd, and could well have been totally coincidental - I encountered my first corruption of the prefs file at the same time that Java wished to update. I had NOT actually launched the Java updater yet, as PS was launching. After I noticed the "hang" in the launch, I allowed Java to update. When the hang occurred, I was only being given notification that an update was avaiable. It was just the message, not the process of updating. Sorry if I was not clear on that. I did finally let Java update, cleared my pref file, and all was right for the entire day.
    It could well be possible that the fault was with MS's messaging system, or maybe something totally behind the scenes. I do not know. I only observed. In other fora, several have rung in with their thoughts that the updater message had nothing to do with my prefs file's corruption. They could be right. Maybe it was Java's bad luck to be popping up, at the exact wrong time and its totally innocent?
    Now to updates. Yes, I have them turned OFF (except for Java, obviously). I do update frequently, though totally manually. Sometimes, I'll wait for a bit, and read the various fora, to see if anyone is having an issue with any program's updates. I'll let them be the "point guy" for me. Going back a bit, the QuickTime 7.4.x update really played badly with Adobe Premiere. I just kept my QT at 7.3.8, IIRC, and waited until 7.5.5 came out. No one seemed to have trouble with that one and Adobe programs on XP.
    I think that John's suggestion, above, is a good one. I did not do that, but then after 20+ years of PS, never had experienced one issue. In my case, it was just the main prefs file, and it was a piece-o-cake to set things back up again. Workspaces was not affected, luckily. Now, I know that IT can happen, even to me. I've adopted John's suggestion - just in case...
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • I want to block the Update plugins pop up, I have a PPC I can't update!

    I want to block the Update plugins pop up. I have a G5 MAC running Power PC processors. The newer versions of Flash and Java are for Intel processors. I can not utilize those newer updates. So if I can't have Fire Fox stop popping up that annoying reminder then, I will be forced to uninstall Fire Fox and use Safari.

    You can set the <b>plugins.update.url</b> pref to an empty string and set the <b>plugins.hide_infobar_for_outdated_plugin</b> pref to true on the about:config page.

  • Fake Java Update?

    Hello!
    I was recently prompted by a Java update pop-up in a VPN site (school's personal website for surveys) and went ahead and included my administrative password. I was wondering if the update was fake and my Macbook could be at risk of viruses or any other malwares and all? If so, are there ways in which I could remove the virus? The pop-up only came up once so far!
    Please help!

    If there has been no unexpected change in the behavior of your computer, it's very unlikely that you were infected with malware. But you should never trust a prompt on any website to install software. If Java or anything else needs to be updated, go directly to the developer for the download.

  • New Java Update w/Snow Leopard Firefox leads to broken javascript functionality?

    I'm using Snow Leopard with the current Firefox... and after the new java update downloaded from Apple -- just today -- I'm finding that a site that I use regularly no longer works when a link for a java scripted small pop up informational window no longer pops open.
    Clicking the link does nothing.

  • Fake Java Update Crashes Illustrator in CS6

    Normally a very cautious fellow, but albeit in a rush to finish a deadline yesterday,  I opened my Adobe Illustrator app  and  a pop-up appeared that looked like a genuine notice from Java to update my software. Erroneously thinking it was something the app needed (because I recently updated to Maverick on my Mac) I clicked to get it out of the way. Illustrator crashed almost immediately. I spent hours trying to fix it. Even re-installing Illustrator did not help. Finally, I checked my Illustrator plug-ins folder and sure enough—there was an innocent looking plug-in called "SubScribe.aip." I trashed it and Illustrator started right up. Be aware my fellow graphic designers—this new fake Java update is a nasty one.

    ovelky wrote:
    - I did a Google search of SubScribe.api and Astute Graphics was not mentioned in any of the results
    - the thing that made me most suspicious was the name of the plug-in itself  “SubScribe.” That does not sound like the name of a graphics plug-in. It sounds like a spam
    Regarding those, see my link in post 2 above, it is indeed a plug-in.
    ovelky wrote:
    Do you see what I mean?
    No, I honestly don't, see my previous posts as to why.
    If you truly feel there was a "fake Java update", that installed a non compatible plugin for the sole purpose to get your Illustrator to crash, then perhaps you need to write/contact both Oracle concerning a possible "fake Java update" and Astute Graphics to let them know they were associated with said "fake Java update" and one of their plugins was bundled inside to mysteriously cause havoc upon Illustrator users.
    When you do please refer to this thread in your correspondence with them and let us know what the results and outcome are from both Oracle and Astute Graphics.

  • I updated my computer to the new software and now the iPhoto has a circle with a line through it.  When I try to update, it pops up to say "These apps cannot be accepted by your apple id". Then will say "update unavailable with this apple id" how do i fix

    I updated my computer to the new software and now the iPhoto has a circle with a line through it.  When I first try to open it the pop us says: "You can't use this version of the application "iPhoto" with this version of OS X. Version: 9.2.1"  When I try to update, it pops up to say "These apps cannot be accepted by your apple id - These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID and they will be available in that Apple ID's purchases list.  If you don't have access to that Apple ID and want to receive future updates, you will need to purchase the application".  I checked and there is nothing under the "purchases" in my App store.  Then will say "update unavailable with this apple id - This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or canceled." Then the third pop up says "We could not complete your request. There was an error in the App Store.  Please try again".  Just want to know how do to fix.

    After I upgraded to Mavericks I was also having this message when I tried to update. There was a previous post about this problem which offered this simple solution which worked for me:

    Got it! Thanx.  What I did was go to my account, check that they had my new ID and Password which they did, then hit reset button. All fixed.

    Hi,
    I scoured the web looking everywhere for a solution to this.
    Exit Code 15
    OSX 8.5 with Work@Home DVD media for CS6
    I followed instructions to run 3rd party cleaner software
    I tried the adobe removal tool
    removing all copies of adobe software manually
    installing from a new account, safe mode, plist everything suggested that i found did not work.
    A colleague suggested that removing the below folder would allow the installation:
    /Library/Application Supports/Adobe
    They turned out to be correct, so i am passing this on, because this took far too many hours of my time.
    Cheers,
