Me too; and tired of the constant treadmill of "updates," and assorted sites whining if you don't have the very latest installed.

yeah, I used get that
You can change the settings via control panel - choice is:
* automatic
* notify [on startup]
* never
as said I'm using the automatic but cant really comment about it yet (I *think* I only changed it lately :-\ - been working on too many machines lately...)
