>Anyone know what this background automatic updater is called so we >can delete it along with Google Earth? > >><http://blog.wired.com/business/2009/02/why-googles-sof.html> I just activated Activity Monitor, and it was really obvious which ones (2 of them) were implicated with Google. I stopped them then went and deleted them. Then I looked up their names using NotLight, and found one was at: ~/LibraryApplication Support/GoogleSoftwareUpdates/manifest.html I deleted it. But the other, called "GoodleSoftwareUpdateAgent," I can't find where it really lives. I want to delete it. Does anyone know where it IS, on the hard drive? Daly ----------------------
