How can I disable automatic update of ESET Smart Security? It always pop-up and very annoying. I tried to set 'advanced setup' / update / never update program component. But it's not working
In fact, I wouldn't mind updating, but it get pop-up in the middle of my screen every hour.

Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity...
