    HOW Is Information Sent to Oracle?

    Small encrypted XML messages are transported via a secure SSL connection over the Internet.

    is there any way to stop that info being sent

    We collect and send information under this program for Windows operating systems only. It may be sent for any users running Windows who download and/or install Java version 1.5.0_u8 or later. If the user does not have an Internet connection at the time of installation, installation data will not be returned to Oracle.

    Or you could tinker with the hosts file perhaps.

    As above, if you can figure what server is used by Oracle to send info to you can change the hosts file.

    You can use Wireshark to analyze network traffic.

    So, turn on wireshark, then do the install and see where the xml is being sent.

    Edit: Its not as simple as i've said above, but, its the general gist!

    Why do you want to stop the info from being sent?

    you do realise that Windows may also do this ( it may ask you/may not) and that several other windows applications may also do this?

    You could disable your net connection, with Wireshark running, let it try to connect, find the DNS name of the server it tries to connect to.
