"Java Console" spyware?

Lately i have been getting a Java console launch when i load certain website. It didnt happen before and it doesnt happen every time and i certainly didnt install it........so i am wondering that maybe its some sort of weird spyware or something?

I cant find anything to install it and i cant even shut it down when it launches. It doesnt do anything but is annoy because i have no control over it!

When i double click at it i get a window popup with following text:

Java(TM) Plug-in: Version 1.4.0_03
Using JRE version 1.4.0_03 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM
User home directory = C:\WINDOWS

Proxy Configuration: No proxy





----------------------------------------------------
c: clear console window
f: finalize objects on finalization queue
g: garbage collect
h: display this help message
l: dump classloader list
m: print memory usage
o: trigger logging
p: reload proxy configuration
q: hide console
r: reload policy configuration
s: dump system properties
t: dump thread list
x: clear classloader cache
0-5: set trace level to <n>
----------------------------------------------------

Any idea what this is?

there's an option in the java control panel where you can prevent it from showing. I think it just displays when its running the code, if the setting allows it, which you can turn off the display.
 
It's a utility for developers to debug Java browser applets, and comes with the Java2 virtual machine. You can definitely disable/enable it.
