Guest Peter Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 How do I stop third-party automatic updates, like Adobe, for instance? I've disabled thier entries in the Startup tab in Msconfig, but they still pop-up every so often. Thank you. JB

Guest R. McCarty Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Re: Third-party automatic updates You have to configure the apps. For example Reader 9.0 - Click Help, Check for updates. When the details box opens click the Preferences option & uncheck "Automatically Check for ...." The same kind of setup is required for Sun Java. For Google Apps it is necessary to uninstall Google Updater. The list goes on and on. It's a double-edge sword - avoiding the bundled apps when you install the apps and then the post processing to get out all the extras you don't want.
