How do I prevent DVDFab from checking for updates?

How do I prevent DVDFab from checking for updates when it's not even open and I'm not even using it? It's highly irritating and intrusive. I've been using DVDFab for years but this is the first time I've ever felt it was a plague on my machine that I need to uninstall.

When DVDFab is not running, it should not popup an update window. Sorry for the inconvenience. I will have the developer check it out.

I get the update window on a daily basis when DVDFAB is NOT running. Very irritating. Particularly since the update fails when you run it.

Check out the Startup tab in Task Manager.

I find it interesting, after all these years, that this is still a problem, even when they say it shouldn't be! They need to add an item in the general "settings" to uncheck a box to have the Updater load when rebooting Windows. Toggle on or off. In fact, my updater wants to check or alert me of an update every couple hours! Extremely annoying... Yes, i know i can go to my Task Manager and kill the process, but it sure would be nice if dvdFAB would fix the problem and add a setting in the the settings menu!

Please refer to the PM and try again.

I know what you're talking about on this issue. You need to go to "msconfig", then click on the "startup" tab. Then drag and expand the "command" section to show more text. Every time an update is done it will make an entry here. "Uncheck" each DVDFab item shown in the expanded area, then click "apply", then "OK", then "Exit without restart", and this will stop this from happening at every reboot.
