circumstantial tree Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 A friend of mine keeps getting a prompt to update java and I think he has, but he keeps getting this same prompt on his computer. He can't look at the internet because of it. Sounds like a virus. Can anyone suggest anything that might fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I got that, too. It's popped up a couple times in the past month. My computer asked for my permission to let it update, and I refused. If I'm going to update Java I'll go directly to Java's website and update it from there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I get my "Java platform" updating automatically but that's an authentic Java update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USB Connector Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 It's possible there's something faulty with the update. I know java 8 was released not too long ago. I'm not getting the notification but I updated mine manually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

softfilter Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Hmm this has been a problem for me. But I tried to update , every time it comes up failed.. It seemed legit reading this perhaps not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
