For some reason, today my browsers are insisting on installing the
defective JRE 1.7.0_21. I want to stick with 1.7.0_17 which works.
I have autoupdate turned off.
Why would it suddenly kick in today?
There is no new version after 1.7.0_21

Can you explain your usage of the word "defective" here?

That's a Java thing, not a browser thing.

I am not sure "it" did. Recent versions of the Java plugin check if there
is a newer version every time you run an applet and, given that you have
7u17 installed and that is not the latest version, it is suggesting you
upgrade before running the applet.
The concept of "auto update" relates to a process running in the background
which periodically checks for newer versions. Turning that off will not
stop the Java plugin checking for a newer version when you run an applet.

So? Didn't you say you have 7u17 installed?

I recommend asking your browser manufacturer.

I was eliminating the possibility a release of 1.7.0_23 would make it
suddenly start complaining about 1.7.0_17, now two behind.

security policies, if I remember correctly. Unless you (and your users)
are willing to stay at 1.7.0_17 forever I suggest you either live with
the changes or adapt your software.
And stop using applets for anything non-legacy.
