Can java update itself using JQS (Java Quick Starter Service)?

818285Nov 24 2010 — edited Nov 24 2010
I have come across this strange issue of Java updating itself even updates are turned off. I have unchecked ‘Check for updates automatically’ from java control panel.
but last night java version updated from Java SE 6 Update 20 to Java SE 6 Update 22
Server OS : Windows Server 2003 (R2) Service Pack 2



When I checked the system logs I found following entries

* The status for service BITS (Background Intelligent Transfer Service) changed from Stopped to Running.
* The status for service MSIServer (Windows Installer) changed from Stopped to Running.
* The following service was removed: JavaQuickStarterService (Java Quick Starter). Last service state was Running.
* Product: Java(TM) 6 Update 22 -- Installation operation completed successfully.
* The following service was added: JavaQuickStarterService (Java Quick Starter). Current service state is Running, service is using binary file "C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\jqs.exe" -service -config "C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\lib\deploy\jqs\jqs.conf".

Could somebody please answer that can JQS update java version and how to stop it updating java version ( as latest version is not compatible to my graphics card drivers)
