I'm constantly plagued by Java update available icon in tray. When I click it it says update available from unknown. If I download it it says I already have it installed. It has given me a trojan before.
I can uncheck updater in Java but it comes back right away.
How can I kill it?
check in your msconfig

Never heard of this one myself, but the key is avoidance and a good malware checker.
I saw that. I don't know how to remove JAVA CONSOLE. Is that a firefox plug in?Originally Posted by kf0rt
tnx
java is a language and a browser plugin. java is not usually a virus/worm vector, but it can be.
exit all your web browser windows and remove java (using the add/remove programs). you'll probably find several installations, each with a different version number--remove them all, one by one.
then ... reboot your system and, using your updated antivirus/malware scanner, scan everything.
if you find that you need java (you will, eventually) then go to this webpage and download the java runtime engine ("JRE") and install it ... then open the java control panel, open the update tab and uncheck the box that does automated update checking.

ok, thanks

Didja get it fixed, Bill?
I was able to chit can Adobe updater by just checking the I don't want any more updates box. I haven't done Java yet, I think it won't bother me for another month, then I'll get pissed enough at it to do something.

Just a general representative of innocence I would guess, too bad it has to be a 12 year old these days to (relatively) assure she still possesses purity.
