Today I recently noticed a Java on the top of Mac which happened late afternoon, which I have never seen before, it has always on shown the following display,
I am confused how this has happened as I haven't installed anything, and I can't find any download done today that may have caused this to happen, can anyone please help with this
Many thanks

Hi Paul...
Which Mac OS X do you have installed? Just making sure...
Sorry, but your images aren't showing up. Make sure they are JPG formatted before uploading.
Can you command + drag the icon out of the menu bar?
Have you tried just rebooting? There may be a process running (why, I don't know) that hopefully won't restart when you reboot. In fact, just logging out and back in may be sufficient. If that doesn't work then reboot.
Hi X423424X,
I have rebooted and also cannot drag the icon to trash, I had tried all those two in question, but, many thanks for your input it has be very valued
Cheers

Try right or control clicking the icon then click Delete.
Hi Carolyn,
Many thanks for getting back to me, I have tried all of that as well, when I hovver over the symbol, and, click it, it comes up with 2 options
ℹ Java Console
ℹ Java Preferences
Java Console opens uo in a text format - stating a reasoning, that bears no relivance
Java Preferences opens up with nothing.
I am going to call Apple care as this is becoming really annoying, if it's running a script, you would expect to reboot and problem solved, but, alas this is not happening at all.
But thank you for all your assistance
cheers
Paul :-)

I wasn't suggesting dragging the icon to the trash. Command+drag out of the menu bar is the usually way to remove menu bar icons that are removable. So dragging to the trash would be "far enough". I guess this isn't one of those icons.
So if this is something that is being launched each time you log in please check the following:
1. Log into another account to see if it is in the menu bar in that account.
2. If it is not in the menu bar of the other account then post the following items.
• Your Account's login items
• The files in ~/Library/LaunchAgents (i.e., in your home directory)
3. If the icon did appear in your other test account post the files in the following directories:
/Library/LaunchAgents
/Library/LaunchDaemons
/Library/StartupItems
