Anything that messes up the cache can mess up the updater.
One possible fix is to fire it up through updater.pala.de and use the Reset Shortcuts or Reset All Settings options. If worst comes to worst you may need to use it's Uninstall option to remove it, go into your user "AppData\Roaming\ProfitUI Reborn Updater" folder and delete everything, then reinstall the updater. That's kind of extreme, you need to remember to note down ignored files, selected variants and so on before you do that, but it clears up the more extreme weirdness.

Things I did and this still persists:
Installed and uninstalled Java using Chrome, Firefox and IE - All versions did not launch secondary applications
Deleted my Profit folder and reinstalled - No secondary applications
Uninstalled Profit from the updater, and reinstalled - No secondary applications
Reset all settings on Updater and restarted - No secondary applications
Downloaded and installed both 64 bit and 32 bit offline Java downloads (I use 64 bit Win 7) - No secondary applications
So, not sure what else to do, it simply is not working anymore and it was working before. I know you don't deal directly with the installer, but since installing the updated Java 7, it no longer launches secondary applications, so something has changed and should be corrected, or that option removed if there isn't a way to fix it.
