    Can you now trust Java Updates?


    I keep getting a pop-up that is wanting to update a Java app.

    The pop-up reads as follows: Java update is now available.
    jucheck.exe
    Oracle America, Inc.

    I have been very distrustful of clicking on pop-ups and want to know if this is a legit update. How does one check on Java updates? Is there a specific site to find the latest genuine updates?

    Thanks,

    Hello Bellringer

    Try the update site, it will check your version and inform you if there is an update available

    Here - Verify Java Version

    You can expect those Java update pop-ups if you allow the Java updater in msconfig>Startup. I would allow it and Flash player to remind you this way since they have critical security and performance updates for your browser.

    I don't trust it.

    I uninstalled it from all 5 computers and all is well.

    Unfortunately, I had to install it so I did it on only one computer so I could order a birthday present for my sister in law.

    I trust it more today than I did when it wasn't being updated so often.
