Lots of programs have updates, and each of them can be disabled in a
different way. Often times you have to find the program's preferences or
options to disable updates, but it really is program specific.
The bigger question is whether turning off updates is a good idea. Many
updates are released to address security issues with software, and not
updating could leave you vulnerable. Then again, there are certain
updates I try to kill because I'm concerned that the new version will
not be accessible. So it's really a personal decision. The best thing to
do is to figure out what kinds of things a program's typical updates
will address, and then decide if you can live without those functions or
features getting a facelift from time to time.
Then you're back to the question of how to enable or disable those
updates, and again, that's a program specific problem. Google can often
be helpful in this regard.

Hi All,
I am interested in turning off updates, like from Dell, etc. I am wondering
if the constant message on my screen indicating an update, could be part of
the reason my computer keeps freezing for short periods of time? Your input
on how to turn off updates would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Barbara H.
