    mityki,

    What is Java?

    "Java allows you to play online games, chat with people around the world, calculate your mortgage interest, and view images in 3D, just to name a few. It's also integral to the intranet applications and other e-business solutions that are the foundation of corporate computing."

    Cf.: http://www.java.com/en/download/whatis_java.jsp

    Download SUN Java:

    http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

    Java for Windows - Internet Explorer

    Recommended Version 6 Update 16 (filesize: ~ 10 MB)

    Windows Vista, XP, 2000, 2003 and 2008 Server

    What is the offline method for downloading and installing Java for a Windows computer?

    Hope this helps,

    Hi mityki,

    Java runtime environment, along with flash player, allows you to play online games, watch videos online, view images in 3D; just to name a few.

    Java (tm) se runtime environment 6 update 7 is the latest update for Java runtime environment 6.

    You need not worry about it. It’s very much normal and affiliated with Microsoft Windows.

    Thanks and Regards,
