    They do appear to be Java related, perhaps tied to a game, but I would not rule out malware either. Have you scanned for malware? Is your computer fully updated and secured?

    If you are certain your computer is clean, you might run JavaRA to remove all older versions of Java. Then go through Control Panel and uninstall Java, then reinstall Java, if you need it.
