Every time you install Java updates it has a tick box that tries to install the ask.com toolbar if you forget to untick it.

Editing the registry with these settings

reg add HKLM\software\javasoft /v "SPONSORS" /t REG_SZ /d "DISABLE" /f

reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\JavaSoft /v "SPONSORS" /t REG_SZ /d "DISABLE" /f

removes this and it will not attempt to do it ever again ... one PITA job less :)

Or use ninite.com to update of your runtimes, it automatically excludes toolbars and other unwanted crap from the download / install.

ninite is an awesome piece of software. Well worth looking at. I think they recently removed flash from the installer though.
