Every time you install Java updates it has a tick box that tries to install the ask.com toolbar if you forget to untick it.
Editing the registry with these settings
reg add HKLM\software\javasoft /v "SPONSORS" /t REG_SZ /d "DISABLE" /f
reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\JavaSoft /v "SPONSORS" /t REG_SZ /d "DISABLE" /f
removes this and it will not attempt to do it ever again ... one PITA job less

Or use ninite.com to update of your runtimes, it automatically excludes toolbars and other unwanted crap from the download / install.

ninite is an awesome piece of software. Well worth looking at. I think they recently removed flash from the installer though.
