Java is an itch i'd like to scratch! Please help.

Java tries to update ALL THE TIME. I’ve looked around the web and it’s all ppl with a much more in-depth understanding of Java asking/answering questions that are geared much more towards the programmer-savvy person. I only understand enough to know they are asking specific questions relating to their specific use of Java. In any case, it doesn’t help me and I really am just SICK of being greeted at the door so to speak by Java begging my attention. Please help me (and probably MANY others ) fix this annoying problem.

Whenever you do not absolutely need Java to run something essential for you, you’d be better off to uninstall it.
