Java 7 Update 5 - 7 Add-on Prompt in Internet Explorer

963459Sep 20 2012 — edited Sep 26 2012

Hi,

I installed the latest copy of Java 7 Update 7 in Windows 7 PC. When i visit the test page (http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp) or my own webpage which detect Java with (new ActiveXObject("JavaWebStart.isInstalled"), Internet Explorer will display the prompt "This website wants to run the following add-on: 'Java SE Runtime Environment 7 Update 7' from Oracle America, Inc....'

The information bar was not present in Java 7 Update 0 - 4. Is this a new feature? Can we skip the prompt? thanks.

I have attached the screen capture below:
