yea.. they are really pushing things with that background tool.. same with Google Updater if you install the latest Google Earth... there is a way to kill that too

If this is the updated for Adobe Flash you must use their super-secret "we dont want you doing this" online tool to remove it from scanning/updating without you knowing

Note: The Settings Manager that you see above is not an image; it is the actual Settings Manager. Click the tabs to see different panels, and click the options in the panels to change your Adobe Flash Player settings.




If you are talking about the FULL Apple software updater.. use this

PPS -

Run your Apple Software Updater application. When it finishes checking, go to the Menu bar and click on Edit and select Preferences. In the box that opens, on the Schedule Tab, put a bullet in Never and then click OK and close the application. It won't open unannounced again.

Nick's tips are very useful for Adobe related products.
