java runtime environment alert message

I keep getting the below alert message. It's when I first load up my computer and then it just keeps popping up every now and then and it gets very annoying. It's just constantly popping up. I have no idea what's causing it, I'm assuming some sort of app running in the background. Is there anyway to get rid of it? Or even finding what's causing it so I can delete the app? I've tried downloading and installing JRE from oracle but does nothing.

I'm actually running OS X Yosemite DP7 however it was doing it before I installed it aswell.

MacBook Air, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)

You're not supposed to be talking about Yosemite in this forum.

I'm having the exact same issue, after installing Yosemite.

I have followed the pop-up instructions and installed Java 8, however it didn't go away. Then I tried uninstalling Java, and it still persisted bugging me.

It's weird the message will pop-up even when I'm not browsing.

Lanny, the problem is associated with Yosemite, not about Yosemite.

I followed the link and installed the "new Java RE 8" -- and nothing happened. The alert still appears.

I then uninstalled all Java relics -- Java's reportedly one of the most easily hacked programs -- and still the alert appears.

This is really screwed. Oracle, which owns Java, is allowing this to continue without acknowledging the intrusions. Very sad.

I don't know why people like Lenny exist. Trolls.

I have some constructive stuff to say Lenny, step aside.

Try this leslie:

My comment was directed to Bob Jacobson because he mistakenly responded to me, instead of leslie.s.g.

So, try reading the posts more closely before you go into name calling mode. And, it's "Lanny," not "Lenny."

Did anyone solve this problem? I'm getting it every minute or so, and it occurs even when there is no java content running.

Lunu, don't post stuff like that. It just irritates people.

How can I find out which applications need to run legacy Java (so I can update or get rid of them)?

Haven't a clue, but why don't you just leave both SE 6 & 8 JRE's installed? They don't cause any issues, at least none that I've seen since I've been running in that state since Lion shipped. This paranoia WRT to Java and Flash Player are really getting to be too much, so I'm finished with the discussion. Good luck on whatever steps you take. 😎
