For the life of me,i haven't been able to re-discover the page in question.I guess it's best to disregard my previous message,although i know what i saw.My apologies.

Not a problem I even tried Google and some of my fellow MVP's have no knowledge and the only info I found I already posted http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/documentation/autoupdate-1667051.html says in February

Hey,if the MVPS don't know,that's good enough for me.I know i wasn't seeing things,but hey,i've been pretty sick here for the last several days,so at this point,as far as i am concerned,i didn't see it.I took the steps to disable it in all browsers.I've taken the point of view of,if i don't need it,disable it.
