Here is what I find:
http://www.java.com/en/download/uninstallapplet.jsp
Reports:
There are no old versions of Java on your computer
You have the recommended version of Java installed (Version 7, Update 25)
I rerun Software updater and it reports:
Local Version: 7.0.250.16
New Version: 7.0.250.17
Someone is wrong. Is it Oracle or is it Avast Software Updater?
I have other things to do than to sort out problems like this.
