How to disable upgrade splash screen
m-b replied to Axere's topic in ESET Internet Security & ESET Smart Security Premium
I added the following request to another thread, but just found this one, which seems more approrpriate: Has this issue of allowing a user to permanently get rid of the "Update" dialog when using a version of NOD32 that is not the current latest? I'm on version 8 and want to stay there until it reaches end of life (on XP and W7). I need a way to not have to see this dialog, even once in awhile, as I can only think of it as nagware. I have been using NOD32 for nearly ten years now, and appreciate it when the end user has the option to choose when to upgrade and not have to be prodded to do so. Worse still is that upgrade.exe is downloaded (and run) when supposedly all I'm asking for is the a/v definitions update. I'm aware of all the arguments for upgrading due to the increasing level of threats, but to me the upgrade dialog is dictatorial and should at least allow the user the option to not show it again. If there is no option in the UI, then is there one that can be either applied to the registry or to the XML file that's used to save the settings? -
