Why so many people hate Java ? Let's start with the fact that it installs an auto-update system that tries everthing it can to trick you into installing adware (ask-bar).

Install the JDK, no auto-update guff, and extra useful tools as well.

  Or just install the JRE, but from the developer download site (same place you download the JDK).

This does not happen on either OS X or Linux. I'm reasonably sure it doesn't happen on Windows with the JDK, either.

in addition to aardvark179's tip of installing the JDK to not get the sponsor message, there's also a well hidden option in Java's Control Panel to prevent them from asking you to install the sponsor: http://i.imgur.com/buSi4lx.png http://i.imgur.com/buSi4lx.png

  What version are you using? I don't have that option in 1.7.0_60
