> you did not answer my question about clarifying control panel

see below the screenshots for where to access Java settings in Windows Control Panel.

Thank you both for all your help and the valuable information you gave me. I will update flash player and Java. However I need to ask you if these screen shots that I posted are coming from the right source meaning oracle and adobe. They look suspicious to me that's why. The screen shot it says you need java update 13.6 while the one mentioned here is version 8 update 31, Just the way those alerts look made me suspicious that they are not coming from a legitimate source. I already ran deep scan by Webroots and Professional Malware bytes scan and neither showed any infections Thank you once again for your help

once you downloaded and installed Flash Player and Java from the vendor's site, not any site of any 3rd-party,  you can make sure the software is genuine and safe to run and their updater can work with authorised severs to update the system.

ok thank you , so are these captures that I posted all are genuine from the vendors. Why the screen capture says java update 13.6?

here Java 13.6 capture just means that site's minimum requirement for Java runtime, or commonly that's the version of runtime which the programmer used to develop the site. it also just means any version higher than 13.6 is compatible with the site.

BTW, your capture of "Flash Player Update" does NOT look like from an authenticated source as the interface is pretty strange for me, especially the words of "VERIFIED VIRUS FREE" just look like a trap.

you may try googling "Flash Player Update" by images to see how the interface should look like.

U are a true genius, that was something else I noticed my self that's why I was questioning things. Even with webroots and Malwarebytes do you think this is a malware that slipped by. If I actually did the update through that do you think I would have been infected by now. therefor would it be safe to say that adobe flash player update would definitely look different than that and would not say virus free.

a flash update dialog would look like this (typically shows at startup):

mmm.... it seems the accepted answer is talking about how to disable Java rather than updating Java and Flash Player, which the author acutally asked.

Thank you basemkhawaja64

I wonder if the results could have been caused by the anomaly raised in this question?:
