Turn off 'Automatic Updates'?

[trimis]

well, I am not sure, for now just when the icon appears telling you there is an update, just choose Custom, and remove checkmarks, then hit Close, a box will open choose to not be notified of the deselected updates.

It appears that your system is clean, have you run a malware scan also with Malwarebytes free, full scan??

I think I have gotten all the apps I want, except for 3 or 4 browsers that are being obstinate, and couple of paywares, which I will wait for my tech guy to deal with. Regarding Malwarebytes, I'm ready to deal with the spyware issue now, but I'll make a separate post for it
