This is the "windowless" version of the JRE. If you're running a Java
program do you expect it to connect to the internet? Of course, if you do,
let it go. If you're just using IE then this might be a rogue applet that is
trying to do something you don't want.
Lastly, on Windows java also periodically checks to see if there is an
updated version of the Java you are running. I haven't seen where you can
change this behavior but I know it happens.
