It blocked the bulk of the HINT w/ some message about a survey or logging into various social media acounts to see the remaider of the HINT. So every time I switch computers I usually go through and reset all the crazy custom tweaks I had on the last machine - usch as disabling Google Chrome's auto-update nonsense.

These are the same concerns, problems and solutions as to the problem of Apple checking dashboard widgets through a background process as described here :įYI: How To Disable Apple's "Dashboard Advisor" The other steps specified in the hint are completely un-necessary.īesides using Lingon you can also use the Apple plist Editor that you get with the Developer Tools or just a plain text editor of your chois - even nano and vi To immediately get the updater to stop running and at the same time diable it permanently just issue these two commands in Terminal: cd ~/Library/LaunchAgentslaunchctl unload -w .plistYou'll have to do this for each account on your computer after having run a google application for the first time. Modifying the plist directly doesn't stop the google updater from running until you log out and then in again. They - at present at least - don't check the contents of the file to see whether the 'disable' flag is present and set. The Google applications only checks for the presence of this file when launched. It's more than enough to just disable the plist.

Please note you now have to update Chrome yourself.
Now the whole folder is write locked, and Chrome can't reload the software update contents, and it won't recreate the launchd task either. (I couldn't figure out how to use Finder to remove read/write privilege for myself on my own folder). In a Terminal window, cd ~/Library/Google and type chmod 111 GoogleSoftwareUpdate. Not done yet - now you must use Terminal to prevent the next launch of Chrome from re-establishing the task. To foil Google/Chrome once and for all, use Lingon to disable the launchd task, and then go to your user's Library/Google folder and delete the contents of GoogleSoftwareUpdate. It works great until the next time you run Chrome. An earlier hint I found said to use Lingon to edit the launchd file and remove Google's updater task from the Chrome browser.
