Jusched.exe is the scheduler process of Java Update; Jucheck.exe is the process for checking/performing updates in Java Update. These processes run automatically and transparently. They will appear in your active task list. To shutdown these processes, simply uncheck the "Check for Updates Automatically" checkbox in the Update tab of Java Plug-in Control Panel.
