Sun's Java is used for developing small applets and online apps (including games), and again, if you don't need to use any, you can uninstall it. Unfortunately there's no simple way to find out, except to remove it and see which website features stop working. You can go through this as well http://java.com/en/download/faq/whatis_java.xml

Go to the Java Plug-in Control Panel: Start > Control Panel > open the Java Plug-in control panel.
Click on the Update tab. To disable the Java Update feature, deselect the Check for Updates Automatically checkbox.
