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

Question

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!

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It makes no changes to your data.
Please triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
find /[AL]* -type d -name *.app -prune -exec sh -c 'ls -R "$1" | grep -q \.jar\$' {} {} \; -print0 2>&- | xargs -0 basename -s .app | pbcopy
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear below what you entered.
The output of the command will be automatically copied to the Clipboard. If the command produced no output, the Clipboard will be empty. Paste into a reply to this message.
The Terminal window doesn't show the output. Please don't copy anything from there.
