I am in full agreement with this. The attitude reflected by this forced "feature" is paternalistic. I am well aware how to manage my system and will run updates when timely. When these things pop up, I usually have other priorities and time lines to deal with that do not involve GWMicro deciding it is time for me to update a dang app. This is made far worse by the serious stability problems currently exhibited by WE. I use the WE kill script a minimum of several times per day. Each time I must do this and restart WE, that dang alert goes off. I am not a VBA programmer by trade, but I am becoming sufficiently motivated to learn enough to modify the GW Tool kit script causing this nuisance and rendering this functionality harmless. I am not a happy GWMicro customer these days. I continue to use WE because I am hopeful it will again become stable and because I dislike JFW more.
