Java updates -- suppress sponsor offers

Those who use Java on a regular basis know that when a version update is published, its installer offers to include some third-party programs that are selected by default to install. Yesterday I learned from the Security Now netcast that the Java control panel includes an option, in the advanced tab, to suppress the offering of third-party programs. The screen shot below shows the location of this option.

 
I tested it on a PC this morning and confirmed that it works.
