When I visit my parents, I end up having to remove the Ask toolbar. It always returns due to the frequent java updates having the Ask install box ticked by default.

Put Ninite on their boxen and set it to autoupdate java, perhaps?

I didn't know this app. Thanks a lot!

I want to believe that 'boxen' is a Brian Regan reference and not just a typo :)

Its been in the jargon file for a while – http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/B/boxen.html – I guess its an obvious analogy with ox/oxen.

Also VAX/VAXen.

Uninstall the JRE and install the full JDK which includes a JRE: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/inde...

Oracle doesn't bundle adware with the JDK.
