A quick google search found me a few references to the same problem, but no real solutions. It seems to be a bug. I'd try uninstalling java, then reinstalling.

No update tab. That doesn't mean you're not nuts. ;-)

No update tab. Why not uninstall it? Then see if those instances of dllhost.exe go away. Then reinstall it. Then see if the Update tab is where it should be. Then report back whether or not the dllhost.exe instances return. If so, note which Web sites you recently visited use Java. My guess is what was mentioned here is happening: http://searchtasks.answersthatwork.com:80/tasklist.php?File=DLLHost "However, sometimes, if a Java COM object runs (this could happen if you are browsing the Internet and come to a page which has Java code), DLLHOST may not terminate, which is when you would see it in your Task List." That is, it would happen to *anyone* visiting that site (running XP and IE, presumably).

Dang, I'm been > chasing my tail with the Java thing. Malware is always a possibility. Rootkits can be very tricky! |
