| All comments about jusched.exe: |
 | It's Sun Java's automatic update scheduler. It periodically starts another process that check for updates for the Jav VM. David G. |
 | You can disable it with jucheck.exe in the same directory. You usually dont need the scheduler. Lucas B. |
 | It's unnecessary and annoying. It slows your PC down. Kaaos |
| Open Java Plugin from WinXP's Control Panel, click Updates tab, uncheck the option to check for updates Rob H. |

| It corrupts memory and slows down the PC and changes passwords and makes things run slow. No link to delete it! I know more |
| The jusched.exe automatic update scheduler is relatively new [j2re1.4.2_04] and by default is loaded set to check for java updates from Sun every month after installation. The process is nearly always sleeping, but eats up 2.4 Mb of RAM . Rare problems when it attempts to phone home for updates. Default behavior easily changed through the Control Panel - Java Plug In - Update tab - uncheck "Check for Updates Automatically" and be sure to press the "Apply" button before closing the applet.. Can also be disabled in registry HKLM \SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run . Thomas M. |

| I need more ram so I'm disabling it. Thanks for the info! Mark C. |
| It is simply an automatic update feature. If you want it, keep it if you don't want it, disable it. Martin Hanson |
| 2.5mb memory, doesnt even take 1s cpu time in days...so no problem (and it's not dangerous) Cen |
| Its a pain in the tail :( Turn off auto update! smaxx |
| It's a memory and resource hog Barney Fife |
| Could possibly be exploited to allow access to a system. Aka Trojans Port Sniffers would be looking for a way to use it as an exploit. Start makeing programs that tell you what their doing and why their doing it. Sir_EOT |

| I disabled it, just because I don't these "automatic" updates. There are enough with windows as it is. And if it works don't fix it. |
| Java Autoupdate. If you don't want it, Control Panel - Java Plugin - Updates tab, uncheck the option for automatic updates wise_guybg |
| Can cause WinXP to hang on shutdown. Best bet is to disable auto updates and peridically check for updates manually. TopDog |

| Comes along with Opera Browser (and other Sun Java products). It is necessary to give Opera the same possibilities as Internet Explorer (but does not have the very serious bug with the mouse scroll bar that can invoke whatever script on whatever site (use the PUSH BUTTONS of the mouse, not the scroll button).

| when i start up computer and do NOT close this exe my pc crashes for some reason kenny |
| We always recommend against having any software updating itself automatically, even if it prompts the user before applying updates. Stay in control of your PC and disable this task as follows : double-click on the Java plug-in icon in the Control Panel, go to the Update tab and uncheck "Check for updates automatically", click APPLY - this will disable JUSCHED from starting at boot-up. If you want to update Sun Java at a later stage, simply go back to the same Java plug-in icon in the Control Panel, to the "Update" tab, and click the Update Now button. SeanT |
| I found linked with Trojan Byte.Verify, a memory leeching sleeze of an application. Unsecure and very exploitive of your system without manual initialization. Can also disable using "msconfig" in RUN menu. Go to startup tab and uncheck. yohannes_ |
| Easy to disable; good for development/test machines; should be turned off on production servers as most production environments would not have open internet access to allow this to run anyway. RichM |

| As you disable jusched please take a look at CACHE tab and see how much sensitive data Java is caching in your computer without your knowlege. Disable it too. Roitberg |
| I discovered jusched.exe running when I was alerted for having a virus on my system. The virus was only a spyware, bypassing the IE program execution prompt. I immediately turned off the internet connection started the virus checkr and checked the process table. jusched was running and two empty IE windows were open with the title "jusched". Must be some funny coincidence... Maybe it was triggered somehow johannes |

| To save confusion, the link in the control panel to get to the Java Plug In (and disable the auto-update), is through the "Other Control Panel Options" link on the left hand side under the "See Also" menu. Once you have clicked on the "Other Control Panel Options" menu, you should be able to see the "Java Plug-In" listed there. Click on it and go to "Update" and untick the "Check for updates automatically box". This should solve the problem. This is for Win XP. For Win 2K e.t.c. you will be able to find the "Java Plug-In" listed somewhere else in your control panel. Good Luck : ) Dodder |

| Well, from my experiences it is harmless unless you consider not being able to load certain programs, or having games crashing while it is running in the background harmless. Disable it, it's pretty much a worthless resource hole. And for those others that automaticly assume because it is from SUN it's not harmful or can cause no problems, please don't be so ignorant and realize you can't trust programs just because they are from a known named corp.

| My jusched.exe just popped up after I was stricken by a virus. I have cleaned my XP SP1 system manually by going through msinfo32, regedit and msconfig. Deleted all viral files including those hidden in temp and prog_files_common directories. I have no Java icon in my control panel so this jusched.exe is very suspect because it sits in my %windows%\system32 path measuring 160,676 bytes timestamped 8/29/2002. I can't find anywhere why its starts - none in HKLM/HKLU...Windows/CurrentVersion/Run nor in the startup folders but it starts at boot up. I just renamed it for safety reasons.

| Dangerous ! There is spyware which uses the name "jusched.exe". You can identify it by looking in the system32 folder. There is a hidden file with the name "jushed.exe". Terminate the jushed.exe process in the task manager and delete this file ! (You may need to terminate the real jushed.exe and the backdoor jushed.exe cause they use the same process name) David |

| Java Update CHEDuler by Sun Microsystems, comes installed with java - This process is considered harmless as long as the process executable runs from your java [bin] directory. As java update scheduler it can be permanently disabled through the windows java settings (control panel- java). If this process is shown as running from anywhere else, it is most likely a process cloaked virus and it's time to get yourself a better firewall, virus scanner, and most importantly a new approach to using the internet. Mike Kamermans |
| Under normal cirscumstances, this is the Java Updater, just like what people is saying. You can always deactivate the update checker using the Java Control Panel, which is the javacpl.exe app in the same folder, under the 'bin' folder on your Java installation folder. Go to the Update tab, and uncheck the related checkbox there. Done! You don't even need to mess with msconfig for that. DavidCS |

| Sun finds bugs in Java that are security holes, they fix them, release a new version, you don't get the update because you wanted to save (only 2mb!) of RAM, so you still have the hole and somebody exploits it and gets in. Get a grip, it is harmless, disable it if you want to. David |

In task manager, under the processes tab, jusched.exe was always at the top, with memoory usage over 600,000 K. and my commit charge was maxed out.

| Not a direct threat, but may cause problems due to imposed updates. Even after disabling updates via the java control panel applet, inevitably, updates are re-enabled at some later time. Have tested this on dozens of XP and Vista computers. Java records the updates enabled/disabled state for each user of the computer. No builtin mechanism to enable/disable for all users of the computer. Not IT admin friendly since cannot control through normal policy. Have had to resort to other policy solutions in order to have control of java updates. See also: Link jusched |

| I hate auto updating, but Vista now will not let you toggle this to off in the control panel. So go to javacpl.exe in the application directory, run as admin and turn off auto updates. Wes |
| from java , makes my firefox crash Kuldar Persenöör |
| It's still in my processes after disabling auto update and restarting. sovereign |
| I was getting a ton of brower re-directs, even to the point where if you entered an address in the bar, but didn't put in the full http:// on it, it would still be re-directed. Once I quarantined jusched.exe, the re-directs stopped. I use the WOT add-on for firefox, which luckily stopped most of the sites the re-directs sent me to... so it was only a nuisance, but for someone without an incoming http blocker or some other program running interferance, those re-directs could cause big problems.

| this process is a java script updater. I disabled this in the control panel also disabled it in the msconfig under run but it still runs on boot up dont like programs that do what they want jave programmers need to get it right or ill just not use the damn thin hated it |
| Blocked my sharefolder in a workgroup .After removal from registry & task manager , the system back to normal. Anti-jusched.exe |
| Interesting forum. The sole purpose of jusched.exe appears to be to run jucheck.exe occasionally to check for updates. You could avoid whatever security hole it opens up by running, and still keep Java updated, by disabling it and running jucheck directly. You could do this manually, but then you have to remember to do so. The How-To Geek (see link below) suggests running jucheck.exe as a scheduled task once a month, and gives detailed instructions. He gives Vista instructions. To open Scheduled Tasks in XP: Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/Scheduled Tasks. See also: Link BillFB |

| Java Update Scheduler (J-U-Sched) ... useless tool that randomly checks for java updates. eats up 2 - 8MB of memory for basically.. well.. NOTHING.. deactivate it in the control panel (Java icon, update tab, uncheck "Check for Updates Automatically") Patrik |
| jusched.exe does not disable in vista if you "disable" updates. To disable jusched.exe in Vista, go to C:\WINDOWS\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin and right click on javacpl.exe ... click on Run as Adminstrator ... THEN disable the updates, and jusched.exe will finally be disabled and not run on startup. angelic |
| Really not something to worry about, its a Sun Java updater to keep your java up to date. See also: Link groovyPost |
| Uninstalled sun java, reinstalled and jusched.exe will not go, regardless of unchecking CHECK FOR UPDATES AUTOMATICALLY thus Sun Java has been deleted.. Nice buggy crap to further ruin your computer. Better luck next version. See also: Link Hostile_Scout |

| No matter how many times or ways you disable it in Vista (including thorugh it's gui or msconfig or registry), it will continue to restart itself to do you the favor of continuously popping up asking for permission to download updates. These symptoms are indentical to those of spyware (unwanted popups that you can't permanently disable, and as such should be treated as spyware and deserves the "5" rating. John |

| allowed a worm to bypass security.. took 2 days to find all it's hiding locations.. disable was not effective had to manually remove the file from all locations myz-28 |
| i typed msconfig into the run progam thing on the start menu, and disabled jucheck and it has stopped it :) but also, if you have norton internet security you can block the update checker (jucheck) and the update scheduler (jusched) quite simply! Stan |
| In the Java installed folder, run javacpl.cpl and in the update tab, uncheck the 'Check for Update Automatically' will kill this process. Ranger |

| Tried to disable through the java "properties" screen - no matter what it would start up again when the system restarted. Manually removed in three separate locations. Maybe not a security threat - but very annoying. Meik |
| linked to trojan.Byteverify and exploitable. I respect Sun, but this file makes me nervous. Unless you are a Java developer or run Java apps, I would recommend disabling this on startup though msconfig. hyperthread |

| I've had success jamming it (but not removing it) by simply starting windows unconnected to the internet modem. Then when the start page is sitting there with what I am searching for typed in, then I connect and the jusched box does not activate. Personally I do not like anything that I have not installed and will remove it when I've got time.. John |
