Greetings listers,

 Recently, both my computer and one I built for my sister have been showing
Java update alerts in the section of the task bar by the clock (Please
remind me of the proper term for this section). It dosen't matter if I
accept the update or not, each time I get online the notice pops up again
(sometimes two of them).

 My questions are;

Are these updates really needed? I confess I haven't researched Java enough
to know how or when it is used.

If it isn't really needed, how can I stop the constant notices?

Many thanks,

Phil Williams
