My computers been acting up now... I never got one of those lame pop ups for a year till today. There goes my streak.
I, like another poster mentioned, had just reinstalled windows on my computer so I didn't have any anti-virus software, and the "java update" did 2 different things to my computer. It tried to install some type of anti-virus software, which there was no way to decline. The bigger issue, though, is that it wouldn't let me open any programs. Whenever I'd run some type of EXE file (Firefox, IE, WMP, etc.), it'd bring up a menu asking what program I'd want to use to open the file. Luckily for me, I cut off my computer before any additional crap was downloaded or installled, and a system restore and a Kaspersky trial later, things seem to be back to normal for me.
