I want to make sure my Java is updated, but I don't want jusched.exe running in the background for no reason, and jucheck can't be configured to pop a message box only when there's a new version available.
So I wrote this small batch script to check the latest version.
To run it you'll need curl in your PATH.
I schedule this script to run when the computer is idle for an hour, using nircmd exec hide <path to javacheck.cmd> to make the update check invisible.
P.S Whenever Java does update, make sure to edit the script according to the latest version number (look in http://javadl-esd.sun.com/update/1.6.0/map-m-1.6.0.xml ).

ReplyDeleteJava has a big hole, used by outsiders to control your computer. The type of infiltration is Trojan. The Trojan contains a backdoor. It can be controlled remotely. The trojan creates the following files:
%system%\msconfig32.sys (1133 B)
%programfiles%\Java\jre6\bin\zf32.dll (28672 B)
%programfiles%\Java\jre6\bin\jucheck.exe (155648 B)
%appdata%\msconfig32.sys (1133 B)
%appdata%\Java\jre6\bin\zf32.dll (28672 B)
%appdata%\Java\jre6\bin\jucheck.exe (155648 B)
The trojan acquires data and commands from a remote computer or the Internet.
The trojan contains a list of 4 URLs.
Chanced are 50/50 that jucheck.exe is a very dangerous virus in jour computer. You must sanitize HD with Bute&Nuke and reinstall Windows 7.
Java has a big asshole
