A background process, java.exe includes the Java Runtime Environment as well as the Application Programming Interface that enables web browsers to run Java based plugins. If java.exe crashes or is disabled, your browsers will continue to work but any Java functions or applications online will fail to work. Designed by Sun Microsystems and distributed by Oracle, Java is an object-oriented programming environment designed to be written once and run on any platform.
If you want a detailed security rating about your java.exe (and all other running background processes) read the following user opinions, and download the free trial version of Security Task Manager.
Note: Any malware can be named anything - so you should check where the files of the running processes are located on your disk. If a "non-Microsoft" .exe file is located in the C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32 folder, then there is a high risk for a virus, spyware, trojan or worm infection! Check it out!

This is no longer installed by default on most platforms, except perhaps sun solaris; though many programs do use it. *IS* typically used by large companies for their own custom software (don't remove this if you're at work!).
