Tired of seeing sponsors and toolbars come in with Java updates? Here’s a quick solution that can help prevent you from inadvertently installing a toolbar with your Java update.
Open Notepad and copy the following information into the blank document –
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft]
"SPONSORS"="DISABLE"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\JavaSoft]
"SPONSORS"="DISABLE"Click on File, Save As, navigate to the desktop, select file type to all. Now save the file as NoSponsors.reg.
This will create a registry file to enter a sponsors key that will prevent sponsors from being installed.
