I agree, it’s just useless bullshit to make things “better and more stable”…

Better and more stable, my ass.

Fix your shit Adobe and Apple!

Microsoft as well! Although I do like Vista…

I fucking hate adobe updater. The only adobe program i have is acrobat reader, my pdf files open perfectly well as it is, so why the fuck do i need a fucking 20mb update! FUCK OFF AND DIE!! Adobe are going the same route as all the other big shitfuck software companies and forcing uselesss bullshit bloated updates upon us that are probably riddled with new advertising techniques!

I second Graeme. Adobe has posted instructions here on turning it off.

I turned the updater off a LONG time ago. What a pain in the arse bit of software. Most of the time it would just end in error anyways.

Aral, I feel for you I really do.

Might I suggest, when you have a spare couple of hours having a look at AppFresh:

http://metaquark.de/appfresh/

Great little app for keeping everything up to date, it integrates really nicely with iusethis.com allowing you to take a snapshot of all your apps, so that *touch wood* you machine ever dies you know what to re-install.

My point being, if everything’s up to date…you shouldn’t get the annoying bouncing puppy of doom every day.

HTH.

Yes, the updater is annoying. Also you aren’t allowed to have the browser running either. Let’s hope they will change it !
