Java updates with every log in

[Complainer]

I'm running Vista on my home laptop. Every time I login, I get asked to approve a Java auto updater (jucheck.exe). It looks genuine, but it doesn't seem to succeed. I don't get any error message, but I get prompted for the same update next time. This has been going on for over a week now.

When I check the Java updates in my control panel/programs, I see about 7 Java (TM) 6 updates, each of over 100MB in size.

I'm wondering if I should remove ALL the java updates via my control panel and just let it all install cleanly from scratch next time? Or is there a better way to get rid of the repeated update requests.

make sure your firewall isnt blocking the download.

make sure your firewall isnt blocking the download.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't think so. I'm just using the Windows Vista firewall, and it is set to alert me if anything gets blocked. I didn't get any alerts, so I don't think this is the problem.

I tried the 'remove all Java' via the control panel (after creating a restore point), and then installing from Java.com, and it seems to be fine now. I have a much better Java experience using NIB Internet banking (no popup warnings). And I got rid of about a 1 GB of Java updates too!
