Hello I am running windows vista 32-bit on my HP laptop, about 3 years old now. This process called jucheck.exe started popping up on tuesday july 12th out of nowhere, and it is still coming up this morning after i tried to manually delete it. i read posts of people saying is was for java but i deleted java and it still pops up. I feel like this is a virus so if anyone can help me out I would greatly appreciate it, thanks.

The file jucheck.exe is used by Java to check for updates. Of course malware can use this or other file names in an effort to remain undetected. Java is a necessary component, for being able to view certain items or web pages.
