Thousands of instances of Javaws.exe 32bit

3055507Oct 21 2015 — edited Oct 21 2015

I I have both the 32 and 64 bit editions of 8 u 60 of JRE and JDK.  I have a problem where after about 5 minutes my PC starts to run one Web Start instance after another eventually clogging my 16 GB memory i.e. 98 to 100% processor and memory usage.  I am at my wits end I have tried Malware bytes but it finds no malware.  Is there a way to check what is calling the web starter?  I have also run ccleaner but that also does not help.  I have Android Development kit which uses IntelliJ but this does not load at start up.  Any suggestions? Regards, Shane Du Toit.
