Hi all,

Every time a start my PC this pop up shows in the right down corner. How can I stop this pop up?

Must be easy but I just cannot find it, thanks,
MVD

RE: New Updates are available

One way to remove this program from the "start up" sequence is to remove it's entry from the System Registry.

On my machine at home, the registry key is either (depending on whether or not this is a program or a service):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

or
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices

Inside those keys are the programs and services that start during the boot-up process.  Scan the lists and find the name of the auto-update program, and my suggestion, is rather than deleting the key, that you modify the key value (adding an _ to a directory name or something) making the pathname invalid, but something just easy to fix should you want to re-instate it down the road.

I'll give it a try.
Can I do that with some tweak utility as well?

Thanks,
