60 javaw.exe processes running!!! Is this a virus?

I opened my task manager the other day and found 120 processes running. About 90 of which were javaw.exe. I have an educational program which uses it to start scheduled tasks at startup. I saw that large amount and immediately rebooted, and it went away. This morning I looked again and and a lot of them are back. Anyone seen this before? Did I mention this is on my server? Server 2003 to be exact.
