Help - is it ok to let this file access the internet?

Norton gave me a security alert for this file:

 

jre-6u11-windows-i586-p-iftw_196cf524.exe

 

It recommended that I allow the access, but I have no idea what it is.  I suspect it might have to do with a Java update, but not sure.

 

Can't find info on Google that makes any sense.

 

Can anyone help?
