SwimmerB Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 I am having a problem with one of my windows 2003 servers. I keep getting this program, javaw.exe, it seems to be eating up all of my processor time. I usually have trouble once this happens logging onto the server. I do have Mcaffee running on this server I was just wondering if these programs are related. I also need to know if maybe there is a know problem for this which in my research it seems there is. And if anyone knows about an update for this program that might fix the problem. Thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Win2k3EE Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 javaw.exe belongs to JAVA from Sun Microsystems. If you uninstall Java, you'll solve the problem, unless you have any app that depends on Java. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwimmerB Posted August 8, 2005 Author Share Posted August 8, 2005 Well I was told at one time that this program was needed with Mcafee's ePolicy Orchestrator program. I am not sure if this is correct but that is about all that this server is used for. I can kill this program in the task manager and it works fine for a while but it seems like there are two instances of this program and after a while it will happen all over.

chilifrei64 Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 have you tried upgrading to the latest version of java? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjz Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Do that after uninstalling the program and the ie entries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Win2k3EE Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 As you can see here , Mcafee's ePolicy Orchestrator doesn't need Java to run. Maybe it's needed by another program. Anyway, my suggestion is to unistall Java. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwimmerB Posted August 10, 2005 Author Share Posted August 10, 2005 The bad thing is though that I do not see java in the add remove programs list. I'm not sure what program is running it. I do kill off the process and it doesn't seem to break anything but don't really like doing that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Win2k3EE Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Search on your PC where javaw.exe is located and this will give you an ideea what to delete. If it's in Program Files (where is should be) look for a file called uninst.exe or something similar. That's the uninstaller. There's a another more brutal way: delete the folder where javaw.exe is located and then run Regcleaner 4.3 to clean all the invalid registry entries. It helps also if you run Norton Windoctor and select the DELETE option to repair each problem. I know it's a harsh method but it works for me.

SwimmerB Posted August 10, 2005 Author Share Posted August 10, 2005 I looked at the site you gave me and I didn't see anything about java there. I was looking at my server again as to what is installed there and it is pretty bare in the way of servers. I only have like 3 things installed on it.File replication proMcAfee ePOSymantec Ghost - which we don't even use from this server anymore.But other than these things there is nothing elseAny know problems with these Apps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwimmerB Posted August 10, 2005 Author Share Posted August 10, 2005 Well I did do a search for it and looks like the program is associated with File Replication pro so I guess that will help narrow down where to look for know issues and fixes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilifrei64 Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 where is it located on the sever.. what directory is it in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfiniteFX Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 well i would also look for a bit torrent client some where on you system namely azureus it to uses javaw.exe, Ive seen a system that had been exploited and it was being used as a file transfer point, thus consuming all available ram.just search for javaw.exe this should point you towards what ever is using it.also search for *.jar these will be files required for javaw.exe to work.Hope this helps.
