[LINK] Google Updater

[Kim Holburn]

I was mucking around with Picassa and it told me there was a new  
version and asked me if I wanted to update so I said OK and  
apparently got "Google Updater" as well.  Since I run Little Snitch  
and rarely let stuff just connect willy nilly I started getting lots  
of connection attempts from "Google Updater".  This continued long  
after picassa had been updated.  I started to get annoyed.  This was  
apparently running a very talkative daemon without having asked me.   
Grrrr....
I haven't found where it starts up - MacoS X has lots of little start  
up nooks not all of which I have found yet.  (I still don't know how  
the Brother software starts up either.  So at the moment I'll just  
have to kill the daemon whenever it starts up.

This is from the Google Updater page.  I still want Picassa and  
Google Earth but I don't much like Google Updater and will nobble it  
if I have to have it.:
