Do I need to update my java, or is it something else?

click on Details Button and post screenshot

If you have Java 7u55 there's no need to update - also i guess you'll have automatic Updates enabled which is default setting

EOL (EndofLife) Date for Java 7 is April 2015 so it will be supported tiill then and there will be updates - there's no need to switch to Java 8 right now (as long you're not using software that asks for Java8 explicitly)

OP updated - Java7 update 55, Java8 update5
