Why does Java console appear sometimes and give me a box of info?

[Doug]

This is what was in the box.  The word security is in there alot.  Should I do something or just close the box when it appears?   ...and when the box appears a small Java icon appears next to the clock at the bottom right hand side of my screen.

Try this, go to your Contro Panel and look for Java and double-click, Under Java control panel->Advanced tab->Java console, click on Hide console-> click "Apply", Ok.
