Thanks for both the ideas from you and slogin2k1. I did find something in Real Player preferences that was labeled web browsing something. It said it was for premium content. I guess they consider premium as adds? Anyway, I unchecked both under this section and will see if this solves the problem.

What version are you running? I see something that sounds promising in
version 11.0.1 Build 949: "Added a preference to the Downloader to
enable/disable Advanced Video Detection.". Just a wild guess...

Thanks for the help, but update isn't it. I also have that function. It just checks for a newer version of Real Player. This thing seems to be a program within a program that saves all video to some folder whenever it sees some kind of tag (I'm assuming here) on a web page. I use a site called hsx.com, that's Hollywood Movie Stock Exchange. I know, the url looks like it might be something else. Anyway, they have adds on their pages that will pop up the Real Player downloader thing. This just started happening a month or so ago, so I'm also assuming this is something relatively new. And I can't find anyway to shut the thing off in the preferences of either Real
Player or the RP Downloader.

Not sure what Real's Update Manager is but in Windows, Real Player has
an option to turn off AutoUpdate. If this will help, it's:
Tools>Preferences>Automatic Services>AutoUpdate, and then uncheck
"Automaticallydownload and Install important updates". Good luck.

An an iMac running OS-10.5.5, does anyone know how to shut off this
Real Player download manager thing?
