| All comments about jusched.exe: |
 David G. | It's Sun Java's automatic update scheduler. It periodically starts another process that check for updates for the Jav VM. |
 Lucas B. | You can disable it with jucheck.exe in the same directory. You usually dont need the scheduler. |
| Osiris | Die jusched.exe der Firma "SUN" sorgt für Javaupdates |
 Kaaos | It's unnecessary and annoying. It slows your PC down. |
| Rob H. | Open Java Plugin from WinXP's Control Panel, click Updates tab, uncheck the option to check for updates |
 cbi | unnötiger Ballast |
| I know more | It corrupts memory and slows down the PC and changes passwords and makes things run slow. No link to delete it! |
| Thomas M. | 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 . |
| Bert Q. | Java update scheduler from Sun Microsystems. Not dangerous, just wastes memory. |
 Justin | Keep my java update quicker. It good if you use alot of java. |
 Vansin | goto to java icon in control panel select deselect auto update and whalha gone |
| Mark C. | I need more ram so I'm disabling it. Thanks for the info! |
| Martin Hanson | It is simply an automatic update feature. If you want it, keep it if you don't want it, disable it. |
| Cen | 2.5mb memory, doesnt even take 1s cpu time in days...so no problem (and it's not dangerous) |
| | Unnötiger Ballast. Um es aus der Autostart-Funktion zu entfernen, tippen sie bei "Ausführen" msconfig ein, klicken sie auf Systemstart und entfernen das Häkchen vor jusched.exe! |
| smaxx | Its a pain in the tail :( Turn off auto update! |
| Seth | Harmlos. Ist für die Java-Online-Updates zuständig See also: Link |
| | unnötiger ballast - regedit/HKLM/Microsoft/Windows/Curent Version/Run und jusched.exe entfernen |
| Barney Fife | It's a memory and resource hog |
| Uwe K. | Harmlose Datei. Automatisches Updateprogramm für Java. Wer es nicht braucht kann es aus der Autostart-Funktion entfernen. |
| Sir_EOT | 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. |
| Danny Lau | Well, it's not dangerous but the file is dated 2068 which is weird! See also: Link |
| Tricia | Have limitted tech knowhow . Want to disable for more RAM Vansin suggests deselect auo in control panel but can't find Jarva icon other than in Add/Remove. Welcome clearer explanation ??? |
| DeinMuddn | Die jusched.exe der Firma "SUN" sorgt für Javaupdates. |
| Star Jones | sunjava app. |
| Star Jones | If you wish to disable this prosses the easiest way is to do it from the system configuration utility. For those of you who do not know how to get there Win XP: Help and suport, tools, system configuration utility. |
| Pablo Javier García | Es un programa que se ejecuta en background perteneciente al Java enviroument. Permanece inactivo la mayoria del tiempo pero una vez al mes chequea en internet si hay alguna actualizacion para JAVA. El único problema es que por mas que permanezca inactivo, consume memoria RAM. Para eliminarlo simplemente hay que ir al Panel de COntrol, hacer click en el ícono de JAVA y en la pestaña de Actualizar desactivarlo. De esta manera no se cargara mas al arrancar Windows. |
| Fantomas | Überprüft in frei konfigurierbaren Abständen, ob eine neue Version von Java verfügbar ist. Verbraucht als Prozess ca. 2 MB Hauptrspeicher. Einstellungen kann man vornehmen in der Systemsteuerung Java Plug-in Aktualisieren. Wenn man das Häckchen vor "Automatisch nach Updates suchen" deaktiviert, wird der Prozess nicht mehr automatisch gestartet. |
| | 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. |
| wise_guybg | Java Autoupdate. If you don't want it, Control Panel - Java Plugin - Updates tab, uncheck the option for automatic updates |
| TopDog | Can cause WinXP to hang on shutdown. Best bet is to disable auto updates and peridically check for updates manually. |
| ballslap | What's weird about it is that it runs very rarely - just pops up out of nowhere... |
| john | just stop it from running at startup, using msconfig or regedit |
| | jo harmlos |
| Gahhhagahgg | i hate crap like this that just sits in teh background and eats resources, but seems harmless |
| VAN BELLE Jean Marc | 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). |
| kenny | when i start up computer and do NOT close this exe my pc crashes for some reason |
| | |
| SeanT | 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. |
| yohannes_ | 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. |
| RichM | 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. |
| DabuR | Nothing wrong, from SUN |
| | einfach msconfig gehn und ausschalten! |
| Black Dragon | The Java SUN update scheduler. Just a RAM robber. Unnecessary |
| sabbelmutz | Manche Sites benötigen das Plugin unter Firefox. |
| kim j. | i dont know .. it showed up on my comp out of nowhere.. and i have deleted 15 viruses since..i have to find a way to get rid of it. |
| | I agree with all of the above.... I love these forums though! Very helpful |
| Jack Bennett | Creates application error on start-up. |
| Roitberg | 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. |
| johannes | 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 |
| RewStar | All part of fun in the Sun -- but if you don't want to go chasing Java version conflicts (yes, they do happen), switch it off ! |
| durant | it's useless. just remove it from the registry |
| djidji | eat memory, not need |
| Jonas | not alot, but gonna disable it on start up. should not do things without asking first, its not polie |
| ruth | soweit ich das bemerkt habe, stürzte winxp andauernd ab, nach der install ! die kiste war sofort im dos modus und bootete ! |
| pete | No harm |
| | UPdate-Acheduler for Java-Runtime Environement. |
| Tom | I had a lot of memory errors and several other data corruptions. After turning it off (in "msconfig") it all stops. It may be a backdoor for bugs :/ |
| Dodder | 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 : ) |

| Matze | Java Update Scheduler überwacht die Java Engine auf aktuelle Updates |

| Jin | I don't know how this file got onto my pc because I don't have java installed. Now the w32.mytob worm infected it and it can not be cleaned. I can't disable jusched.exe from control panel because it is not listed. Would it be advisable to delete it from the system32 folder? |

| Limelight | 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. |
| Corneliu | creates application error an startup |
| | Sun Java Update Scheduler - jusched.exe is a process installed alongside Sun Microsystem's Java2 suite and, and checks for/installs Java updates. This program is important for the stable and secure running of your computer and should not be terminated |
| Loloy D | 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. See also: Link |
| max. | thanks dodder!! but, i can´t believe it!!, i did what you say, in other control panel options i only have two icons: 1) about the sound efects and 2) about symantec update(the antivirus norton of symantec), so, could you help me???, please don´t think i am a fool or something, my little problem i that, i don´t have the java icon in my control panel, well, that is what i think....

| David | 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) |
| .::TRON::. | Nicht weiter gefährlich, benötigt bei mir (NT5.1) 72K und max. 1,8 Mb dazu ~450 Kb virtueller Speicher. 1 Thread, 1UserObject und ~25 Handles auf Objekte, die ich nicht (den Datenstrom) parsen kann. Dangerous onyl if the update files are corrupt or not completely tested. - AutoUpdate... always the same prob. |
| Blitzenn | Extreme Caution! Can corrupt Partition table. Two machine with extende drives had the extended drive Partition table overwritten during the course of an 'update'. I don't care if it's Sun software, it breaks machines severe. Quacks like a duck, is a duck. Delete the infection - updater now! |
| Avinash | I have a dial up connection and whenever i connect to the net it hogs up my limited bandwidth. I tried disabling via the control panel but i dont have a java plugin option. Also the system configuration utility did not help. Can you please tell me another option. It would be grateful. |
| Trampen | Grisoft AVG caught trojan process, "PSW.Banker.45.BC" using "jusched.exe" to access internet. AVG did not see it two days ago, but picked this up with most recent (6/13/05) virus def file. Not much info on this yet, but all Banker variants are password stealers. See also: Link |
| Gianni | Questa applicazione tenta un continuo aggiornamento con il sito della SUN e sembrerebbe innoquo o addirittura utile per coloro che lavarano molto con JAVA. Ho eliminato questa applicazione dal registro con la funzione cerca e poi eliminando la chiave. |
| Iain | If you can't find the Java Control Panel in Windows Control Panel, simply go to the same directory that jusched.exe is stored, and run the file javacpl.exe, you'll find a checkbox to utick in one of the tabs. |
| cbasoz | I think somebody started to use jusched.exe name for a new virus. I don't have Java installed but it was there attempting multiple connections on port 445. |
| Deva Prasad | this is file related to the java and nothing to do with virus ,this is nedded for a type of sites which uses Java console ,and for active x controls, |
| | An auto-updater program for Sun Java (only auto-updates if it opens on startup)... checks for update when the application is launched. |

| Leiffi Plomeros | As many other have said, it's completely harmless and you can disable it yourself... |

| Spunkmeyer | Für JAVA-Updates erforderlich |
| BunnY | Useless,disable. |
| | It is for Java updates. Completely not required. Uses memory and CPU time. It is not required or important. It is also very annoying because if you turn off automatic updates with the Java settings in the control panel the stupid program still runs. |
| LiQuid | I belive this is a CLEVER "new age" trojan aswell ... very suspicious as it is a useful tool for video chat ~ this buisness however is lucrative & definatly corrupt / along with the PREMIUM rate phone line scam etc ... be suspicious See also: Link |
| Ra3raga | Important to apps that require it (games, some animated images). can you re3member to update the Java process at least once a month. If not, leave it to take up less than 1 per cent of computer resources in background. |
| Ike A. | It checks for Java updates but because of legal wrangling bet Microsoft and Sun Win XP can not load it. You can disable it, as mentioned by Rob H, from the Java Icon in the Control Panel. |
| dfm | "Java Update Scheduler" - schedules java-updates. harmless and eventually useless if you are able to update things manually... |

| Carnivore | Java Update Program - deactivate it - possible slowdown |
| Deranged | Just to let everyone know and to stop ALL confusion. It's not dangerous at all. I've used Java countless times and it doesn't give any errors, if there's a problem then do what everyone else has suggested, disable it. It's completely harmless and it doesn't cause viruses or anything of the sort. |
| Stinky | If you ever use Java, you HAVE to leave this enabled. Unless of course you plan on manually checking all the time, then by all mean disable it. Just don't be stupid and forget to check at least bi-weekly. It's very important to keep your VM patched. Java has served as a virus gateway on several occasions. |
| EvilKing | unnützer speicherfressender datenmüll der sich vom standard user ohne erweiterte windows xp kenntnisse nichtmal löschen lässt. es ist eine frechheit dass der installer nicht einmal fragt ob man es haben will. SunJava: setzen, 6 |
| Shalianahe | java update ( disable if you like via CP) |
| icecold | Nur für Java Updates. Eigentlich total nutzlos und nur Ballast für den Prozessor. |
| Samantha | Is the "Jave Update Scheduler". Is completely HARMLESS, and uses miminal resources. If you don't want it to run,, (Win XP) go to control panel, use search assistant to search control panel only, find Java, open Java Plug-in control Panel, select Update tab, uncheck "Check for Updates Automatically". |
| Daniel | It uses system resources, but doesn't appear to eat CPU cycles once it's determined that there are no updates available. |
| | Java updater for Logitec Harmony remote control |
| Cheese | jucheck seems to run on port 1098, which is the default port for jboss, thus jboss was not deploying war and ear files |
| jippieyeah | Do not confuse it with viruses which may use the same name. I do not like memory-eating programs which do not ask me (one ant is no problem but many can be annoying). But you should not forget to update Java - an old version can also be a security risk. |
| sakis25 | opens after I use Java on Firefox. |

| nolookingca | Literally takes up 28 K of memory on my system, so I don't mind. |
| moh27 | it does nothing its just for java automatic updates |
| WetWilly | It's unecessary and slows down the computer, it can also crash the computer while running programs that using high amounts of memory because it randomly checks for updates. Updates for Java seem almost pointless because it's not likely to find websites with java programs. End process with taskmanager or delete entire program. |
| Blank Reg | It stole my microwave |
| Sharad | Is there a way to prevent Java from installing the jusched.exe during installation itself? |
| bob | If you want your version of java to be old and not have newer updates as they come out, thereby plugging any newly discovered security holes, then you should get rid of this thing. |
| chuck ross | It's very annoying on a production server and compromises stability. On a production server running custom applications you never want an automatic update! |
| Matt | This file is used for the java engine to update, there is nothing wrong with it at all and does take near to nothing resources. If it matters all that much to then you can delete it if you want. |
| Mark | It refuses to let me open Flexisgn, which i use for my business. It is costing me money.If like suing Sun! Thankyou every one for the tips |
| Amean Dude | well this file is used for auto updates in suns java2 and is completly unesscary so I just disable it |
| HTA | unnötiger Ballast, nicht gefährlich |
| Ben | This process can facilitate install of byte.verify or other spyware/virus processes. Disable it, and if a java applet doesn't work a year and a half from now, enable it, update, and disable again... |
| hammer | doing weird crap on my winXP desktop. Looks like it is compromised or just suks right out of the box |

| hArKhAnGeL | Deja de funcionar algunas teclas y la estación de trabajo se torna mas lenta. |
| Aussie | Seems to be not dangerous,if u don't want it disable it , simple. |
| Mirddes | Safe. Non-critical. uses ~2kB ram ~512kB swap. Automatic updater for java virtual machine. Most endusers are best to leave it running if they have +512mB as 2.5mB makes little difference. serious users should disable it to maintain a minimilist configuration. |

| Tuomas N | It's pretty useless since you can update Java version manually by visiting http://java.sun.com |
| Joggel | Für Java Autoupdate verwendet. Wenn Probleme mit dem PC auftreten (hängt sich auf etc.) dann einfach über die Java Konsole das automatische Update deaktivieren und unbeding auf "Annehmen" klicken. Danach sollten alle Probleme Vergangenheit sein! |
| | Verursacht vermutlich Systemneustart bei Virenprüfung mit Norton Antivirus, nach entfernen problemlose vollständige Prüfung möglich |
| iluvala | Is just the Java Update Program, and it doesnt take CPU time and eat RAM unless u are on 90Mhz Pentium and 16MB RAM. |
| Wendy | It takes up 92K mem usage on my computer, not quite the 'hog' people accuse it to be. |
| Neil Seal | comes with a free tree frog if you install the Japanese version |
| | just because its annoying doesnt mean its a virus |
| Greg | If you disable it via msconfig, it still loads every time a Java app(let) starts. Disable it in the Java control panel. Problem solved; 2MB of RAM reclaimed. |
| NotSteve | Not dangerous but annoying. Anytime software is installed it should tell you that "whatever".exe will run, and get you to "opt-in". Most of this crap isn't anything you need, at least not all the time. Whenever I boot I terminate at least 15 processes so they don't tie up resources. |
| pikachu | I don' think jusched.exe is dangerous ..just another update program, I just disabled it from running at startup thanks to your forum |

| ©2006 Microsoft Corporation. | As far as we know, this is not in any way, a critical problem. I don't know why anyone would rate this as dangerous.

| Mike Kamermans | 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. |
| DavidCS | 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. |
| noot | The file is for java scheduling, on my PC it seems to crash or hang during shutdown more often than an app should. I am disabling it. |
| Greg | If you can't find the Java Icon under Control Panel, click "Switch to Classic View" if you're running XP. You should then see the Java Icon, double click, go to Update Tab and desselect Auto Updates. Click Apply |
| your mom | go to run, type msconfig, click on startup and uncheck jusched. now it won't run when you satr you computer and you don't have to delete anything. |
| Adriana | it can be discussable but just to be sure, disable it and check for updates manually. What's so hard? |
| Dirty Ed | Just an auto-update file using less than 2K of memory. |
| GeeWhiz | It is the automatic update for Java. If you don't want Java to check for updates automatically, just go in to Control Panel/Java and disable it. You can always do updates manually |
| danger | Open ports on one's computer are never a beneficial circumstance unless they are in use by the user directly. |
| Jay Dee | Contibutor - Does not slow down your machine as long as it's pIII+ , live with out it if you don't want it, but be prepered to miss out.. |

| SQuiD | Is not dangerous, but infiltrates into startup without your agreement and uses some memory. Useless. Fortunately, can be removed simply. See also: Link |
| Meshif | Unless it's been used in a recent attack jusched.exe by itself is not harmless. However, as there are many java viruses/worms, this program could download and install an infected update. As said before, turn your auto updates off and get them as your browser/programs prompt for them. A clean version of this file does not use much of your resources. See also: Link |
