yeah im thinking a trojan as well. java should not be asking for access to the internet.
the update utility is called jucheck.exe thats the only part that should need internet connectivity.
try something like
http://java.sun.com/applets/jdk/1.4/.../example1.html
and see if java needs to connect to the internet to run the applet.
@ 4play Ok..will check out the java applets site you suggest....
edit: tried the test, java doesn't pop up on that......
Just ran a AV check with full updates on symantec corp edition Av and found nothing...btw.
gonna run an online trojan/av check and see if there is something that my av hasn't picked up...

check your running processes for something out of place or something that contains the word java.
also check msconfig /startup(tab) the only item with java in it should be jushed the update utility.
i would also suggest you block java at your firewall and see what information it contains about it like where the file is located this will help.
Did I mention that I am running azureus which needs Java..
Still, the fact is, it never used to do this......now it does....so something is wrong.
I have done a Trojan check....nothing
I am now trying several things.....
running peer guardian again....
blocked java in sygate firewall...(this has not affected azureus btw)
No pop ups yet...but only did it 5 mins ago.....will wait and see.....
btw...thanks people for the helpful suggestions
Have you tried a spyware scan at all? and also post a hijackthis! log.

have you tried uninstalling the java and re install a new copy maybe something as simple as that might work
