Information about javaw.exe file

"javaw.exe" belongs to Java from Sun Microsystems, Inc..

The javaw.exe command is identical to java.exe, except that with javaw.exe there is no associated console window. This implies you can't get it to display the version with -version since there is no console to display it on. Use javaw.exe when you don't want a command prompt window to appear. The javaw.exe launcher will, however, display a dialog box with error information if a launch fails for some reason.

Note: Any malware can be named anything - so you should check where the files of the running processes are located on your disk. If a "non-Microsoft" .exe file is located in the C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32 folder, then there is a high risk for a virus, spyware, trojan or worm infection! Check it out!

It's with Azureus, uses almost all resource of the system Tze yu I just renamed it and my azureus works Amit Benutzen fast alle Torrenttools und frisst nach einiger Zeit Inaktivität am Rechner den Speicher. Aber recht harmlos, wenn man den Rechner über Nacht laufen lässt!

It's a memory hog Jordie associated with limewire and other java programs. SP2 firewall and norton give u the option 2 disable it Yusuf Yusuf It's a real performance hog on Win XP Pete Part of Azureus - kills performance Lieven Part of the SUN Java runtime. Needed for Java programs.  link for more info Ben! This is the Java Runtime Environment. This (or one of several third-party JRE's) is required to run any Java program. It is comparable to vbrun600.dll to run Visual Basic 6.0 programs or FrameworkService for .NET applications.  link for more info Jason Tovey It's definitely NOT a part of Azureus. Azureus just uses it to run.  link for more info M4r33 \ ()5 Keeping azrures upload/downloads limited will help control mem usage, but needs to be watched constantly DigitalTreez Used for Java apps. Java is usually slow so this will eat pc resources like a fat pig. In combination with a memory proggie like freemem quite managable.

Björn =java.exe, but without console output. Good for swing/AWT applications. Don't have difference among others java application: same memory and processor consume. AlanZ Use it with Azureus - uses a bit of system memory, but nothing to worry about Yeah hp instal - destroying performance of computer - FU SUN dan using 150 mb of ram It kills W2003Server. Has to do with HP printer toolbox. Delete it if windows 2003 server, it sucks It is a Sunfile. Can affect the processor latency Raj hp ProCurve toolbox uses it as well - it can be a memory hog Jason Benötigt Azureus... also dann an lassen!!! Ansonsten zieht es sicherlich nur unnötig Speicher. MfG Leon I think it IS part of Azureus , my cpu was at 100% , and I started ending processes of the programs runing 1 by 1 and checking the cpu status , when i ended javaw.exe my process went from 100% to 3% , I also noticed the Azerus system tray icon dissapeared and I had to restart the program : ) , btw , it doesnt always kill my cpu , in fact , this is the first time it's happened Not dangerous - but it eats a lot of ram, needed for java based programs, like Azureus. Mr_R javaw is a program that comes along with the Sun JRE. Can be used to exceute jar files. coool It pops up after I installed a HP1010. The file is located in the HP directory. I guess it's part of HP's toolbox. It does eat memory though! 18.452kB of memory for a printer....but well it does a good job. Go Laser!

Stop the process and all becomes normal and faster again. JJJ I found that in azureus it would only start to take away my CPU power if I had capped my downloads to a certain amount. But with no bandwidth limit it didnt seem to slow down my computer at all. Acidtreat101 Java Runtime, Azureus uses it.... This is the Java Runtime Environment. Java programs like Azureus or Limewire need it to run. It uses a lot of performance, but on my old (P3 733) system it only uses around 5% CPU with Azureus.  link for more info The Watcher IBM Thinkpads use it to download messages for 'IBM message center'.
