[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1729602, member: 175845"] I had to get rid of MacUpdate.app quite a while ago now and if I recall correctly, it was a bit of a PITA to do so. I can't recall all the reasons but it was waaaayyy off on its accuracy for me as I don't normally run the latest OS X versions, and if I recall properly, MacUpdate was completely filling up my maximum 4,000 Console logs within various messages and within just a few minutes using way to many resources. And I have no real proof, but I have a feeling it was also doing a bunch of snooping around on my Mac, even though I do have and use Little Snitch. A quick Spotlight check shows they were still asking me to Upgrage in July: [I]Hi Patrick,Let's upgrade your free account. …[/I] You be the judge and decide… ;) - Patrick ======= [/QUOTE]
