I ran across this today… \u00c2\u00a0And was very suprised…<\/p>\n

One option is to remove all of the Google background updater applications…<\/p>\n
\n“Google Updater Helper” – Firstly started by \/Library\/Preferences\/loginwindow.plist \u00c2\u00a0and subsequently by launchd – (seen by running launchctl list | grep com.google.Updater.helper)\n\nRemoval: edit\/remove the google item in that file using property editor\/textedit\/Pacifist<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
“googleml-modwatch”\u00c2\u00a0– Started by launchd from: \/Library\/LaunchDaemons\/com.google.GoogleML.plist.\n\nRemoval: rename\u00c2\u00a0com.google.GoogleML.plist to com.google.GoogleML.plist e.g.:
\nsudo mv \/Library\/LaunchDaemons\/com.google.GoogleML.plist
\n\/Library\/LaunchDaemons\/com.google.GoogleML.plist.off<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
“GoogleSoftwareUpdateDaemon” – another launchd startup\n\nRemoval:\u00c2\u00a0sudo mv \/Library\/LaunchDaemons\/com.google.keystone.daemon.plist \/Library\/LaunchDaemons\/com.google.keystone.daemon.plist.off<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
“GoogleSoftwareUpdateAgent” – another launchd startup\n\nRemoval:\u00c2\u00a0sudo mv \/Library\/LaunchAgents\/com.google.keystone.agent.plist \/Library\/LaunchAgents\/com.google.keystone.agent.plist.off<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\nThen Restart and they should all be gone…. You can still manually run the updates when\u00c2\u00a0you\u00c2\u00a0want to by running:
\n“\/Library\/Google\/Google Updater\/Google Updater.app”.<\/p>\n
But this really is throwing out the baby with the bathwater. \u00c2\u00a0Google officially gives us the information to disable update checking, or to change the interval in which is checked…<\/p>\n
Update Frequency<\/h3>\nTo change how frequently Google Software Update checks for updates, execute the following in the Terminal application:<\/p>\n
$ defaults write com.google.Keystone.Agent checkInterval <frequency><\/p>\n
where\u00c2\u00a0<frequency>\u00c2\u00a0is the elapsed time in seconds between update checks.<\/p>\n
To disable Google Software Update from checking for updates, execute the following in the Terminal application:<\/p>\n
$ defaults write com.google.Keystone.Agent checkInterval 0<\/p>\n
Manual Updates<\/h3>\nGoogle Software Update also provides a way to manually update all Google software on a user’s Mac. Here’s how:<\/p>\n
\nIn Finder, select\u00c2\u00a0Go<\/strong> >\u00c2\u00a0Go to Folder<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
In the window that appears, enter one of the following locations. It’s expected that one of these folders won’t be found:\n\n\/Library\/Google\/GoogleSoftwareUpdate\/GoogleSoftwareUpdate.bundle\/Contents\/Resources\/<\/li>\n
~\/Library\/Google\/GoogleSoftwareUpdate\/GoogleSoftwareUpdate.bundle\/Contents\/Resources\/<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
In the folder that opens, double click the file named ‘CheckForUpdatesNow.command’.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nTerminal will open to run the file. When you see the message ‘[Process completed]’ you can close Terminal. Once this is done, your Google programs will be up to date.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
