Java icon in system tray

[Wolverine in Michigan]

Vista Home Premium w/all updates.

I keep getting these little coffee cup icons popping up in my
system tray, sometimes 2 or 3 at a time.

I looked at my programs and I see the symbol for
"Jave SE Runtime Enviornment 6 update 1" which was installed back in
November 2007, but I've never seem them in the system tray until this month.

As soon as I move my cursor over them they disappear. Why do these
keep popping up and how do I stop them from popping up?

Thanks for the help.

It most likely means that IExplore.exe is accessing a a web site enabling Sun Java.

BTW: You need to remove v6 update 1 and replace it with at least v6 update 14 (albeit v6
update 15 is about to be formally released).
