arghghg - I thought I had cleaned all thing rotten off my computer! why are they so insistent that I must have something I did not ask for, nor did I request, or sign up for. this is ridiculous.

I think I found the registry, and blocked the ports in my firewall.

It had loaded bonjour on my system after I know I had removed it, then quicktime.

wow. I have never seen such a lack of integrity in Micro$oft products.

Yeah but you have to admit ANY company, no matter how great the product is, still shouldn't be able to push their software like this. Even though the intentions are good, it's almost like that guy at camp who comes up and prays for you to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit while you're praying to work out a personal issue in your life -- it's waaaaay more than a simple annoyance, and it keeps happening...and you don't know what to do to get it to go away the right way.

I, on the other hand, will only be using Windows with Safari options, newly available, that have had limited in days past. Software update doesn't "push" Safari, it says it's available to install. Live without iTunes? I think not.

Oh please. It's a browser. Deselect it... or do you not know how to control your computer?

I have, several times now, but it kept coming back and "warning" me that it is available. Apple is pushing their wares on me, and I am tired of it. and people think Walmart is evil?!? bah.

You've got that right. I have had maybe 1% pop-up troubles on my Mac, but I had so many on Windows I couldn't even enjoy the internet... not to mention, the two computers destroyed by viruses.

I'm a slap happy Mac user! :wink:
