One of the things I had to turn off in my startup files.  There's the updater and also a java preloader thing that will run in the background too to help make your browsing experience 'faster' you may want to shut off.  Your installshield automatic updates as well, I hate that pop-up in flight.

This is not a game bug.  It is another application asserting itself as the primary application, much like viruses and malware do.

If the java updater is that nasty, then shut it off.  It is a poorly written application that does that.

Skuzzy to me the Java updater is worse than a virus. At least with a virus you can fix your computer, but with that Java updater you can't stop that.
