what the forget is JavaJDEUpdate.exe?

[ShadowsfeaR]

you're a bloody forgetin' moron.

If you have vista, then alot of stuff will be hidden, it's just a friend that way. And don't try disseminating my help. Just because something has multiple instances of something, doesn't mean it's a virus. You've clearly run it throu an anti-virus program, it said it was clean, right? Don't bitch out about it! It's not doing anything to you, now is it? At this point, it really is acting like a virus because it's pissing you off.

1. Avast isn't the only free antivirus program out there. Try Malwarebytes.
2. It might help to scan in safe mode.

When I try to run safe mode, it freezes at mup.sys. Maybe that's a problem with my computer, but it didn't start happening until the javayaddayadda.exe thing showed up and multiplied itself.

I'm almost 100% positive that's not a virus for multiple reasons.

- never seen a virus with an admin tag

- its from java's rte/jde/sdk that you have to download to be able to run any java content.

 You didn't happen to be playing a game that requires java any time recently. That includes both stand alone such as minecraft or web like runescape.


Perhaps you were watching something online that required it.

Here's the deal with Java. Basically when it updates, it keeps all of its update files. Occasionally (VERY occasionally at that) the updaters inside of the folders because Java fails at making things obsolete. So what I personally think is the problem is an updater from 6 java versions before is just running an update causing it to over ride the next version causing that to update and basically just making a paradox of updates.

EXACTLY WHAT I WAS SAYING! Thank you monocle. I love you.

Java isn't a virus.  Durr.

It updates Java, which is a program used to run games, files, phone applications, etc.  So if you just update the damn thing, problem solved.

He knows what Java is, and I'm going to say this myself, read the topic.
