Got a pop-up last week notifying me that a new version of Java SE was available and to download and install it which I did.
Today, I get the same pop-up again.
A little bit strange but not un-usual.
I tend to click the link for 'further information' to find out what I'm installing but updates so soon together do make me wonder how reliable/vulnerable software auto-update features are to virus writers and the like.
Is there any chance this feature could be hijacked and divert you to a rogue website for an update?
