What is jusched.exe?

[Rabbie]

Hello,
I just checked my task manager. In processes tab, there is a process running called "jusched.exe". Is it harmful for system and how can i disable it? Anybody have any idea?

All suggestions are welcome.

Jusched.exe is the Java Update Scheduler. This process is installed by Sun Microsystems' Java to periodically check for updates related to Java handling, runtime environment and internet browsing and install them whenever present. By default, it is installed as a service and set to start automatically.
This process is a nonessential process and can be safely terminated since it sits there eating memory space only to check once a month for updates from the Sun community.

jusched.exe is a process installed alongside Sun Microsystem's Java suite and checks for Java updates which involves usage of the Internet. This program is important for the stable and secure running of your computer's Internet browsing and Java usage and should not be terminated.
