[QUOTE="LoMo, post: 1522405, member: 304982"] [b]Not in "Privacy" settings.[/b] Just to clarify, the Storeagent process has nothing to do with Privacy settings. But you can disable automatic checking and/or downloading of OS X apps / App Store purchases in: System Preferences > Software Update Disabling the auto download is highly recommended if you might sometimes be surfing in limited bandwidth situations or (worse) over a mobile device with pricey fees for consumption since the downloads can sometimes be in the GBs. Selecting "Automatically check for updates" should not result in significant bandwidth consumption as long as you don't have any other checkboxes selected... this could help prevent overlooking important security updates while allowing you to perform the download and installation when it's most appropriate.
