The problem is that you’re not being routed to the correct download website when you click “More Info.”Īpple could have remedied this issue by programming the “More Info” button to direct you to the right fix.

This isn’t a complicated issue to fix, but it is an indirect one. You know, attributing it to the background initialisation of the NSA’s tools :) Normally I would have not realised this, on my Win7 PC I have a few automated tasks which initiate some bat files, so I see this daily (I recently discovered timeout 5 which adds a 5 second delay before closing the cmd prompt so now I know exactly what happens). When you visit the download website to update Java, you find that the issue isn’t resolved! You’re still getting the same pop-up. Without a compatible Java command-line tool for these software, you’ll get this pop-up every time you turn on your Mac computer. Expand or collapse panel in focus (press F6 to move focus to Tools pane, then tab to desired panel) Spacebar or Enter: Spacebar or Enter. Navigate to the previous command button within a panel. Older software such as Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator requires legacy Java support. Navigate to the next command button within a panel. That could be the source of the seemingly random notifications. The reason you’re receiving this message is due to the removal of Java support in newer versions of OS X for security reasons. enzo The malware could be trying to run a Java command and just failing by macOS's natural default lack of a JDK, which would bring up the legitimate system prompt. It says, “To use the java command-line tool, you need to install a JDK.” It asks you to click “More Info” and visit the JDK (Java Developer Kit) download website. After upgrading to a newer version of Mac OS X (Yosemite 10.10 and El Capitan 10.11) or macOS (Sierra 10.12 and High Sierra 10.13), you may end up getting an annoying new pop-up message whenever you start your computer.
