Wait, this is just an uninstall command, correct? If so I wonder what is setting of my little snitch left and right after I executed the uninstall? Yes, this command uninstalls the update engine, so something else must be setting off Little Snitch. By the way, I also use Little Snitch and I love it! You terminal command let breath a sigh of relief after foolishly installing a gobbler plugin into my Iron browser.
I am free again! Nice blog here! Also your site quite a bit up very fast! What web host are you using? Can I get your affiliate link for your host?
I wish my site loaded up as fast as yours lol. I actually run my own web hosting company and I host this site over there: ActualWebSpace. This has been bugging me a long time, and I decided to google how to remove it.
Guess what popped up? Perhaps someone else who visits here can offer a suggestion. Otherwise, I suggest continuing to search for solutions on Google. Good luck! A pity that Google still, after 3,5 years, installs this without asking. Uninstall script still works with I have just run around the same issue.
The funny thing is that Google creates an hidden folder in the libary folder with the Google updater. In my case it was the Android File Transfer application for connecting an android device to your Mac. I tried to delete the hidden folder, but every time you run the Google Android File Transfer application it reinstalls this updater. I find this way of intrusion into my system for something totally unimportant like this tool, which will not need any updates at all, because there is no options besides making MTP readable pretty unnecessary.
Also the update intervals that run every few hours are ridiculous, besides being unasked for and even running in the background when the tranfer app is closed. This also mentions your website. Funny thing also Google makes it quite hard to even find this in their own search engine. I think Google just has gotten pretty arrogant in some aspects, like Yahoo!
Thanks very much for the uninstaller! Tnx, the only application I have by google is picasa which I stopped using a long time ago.
Still, this updater is a pain in the neck. This small program was helpful. How ironic that Googling brought me to your web page; thanks so much for taking the trouble to put this info online. The command line option was perfect for me. I use Chrome on some occasions, but I do not install Google apps without some serious vetting. I did, however, install Apple Mavericks. I would love to know where the Google updater actually came from, but for now it is gone.
Thanks for your help! I installed Chrome and hated it. So I deleted it. The useful consequence of changing this setting was that whenever ANY software on my mac tried connecting to the internet OSX would prompt me to either allow or disallow that site. This is how I discovered Google Software Update! There was no popup box like in your case clearly showing Google Software Update was running!
Thanks for sharing your story. Its a pox. Help Please!! Have you tried following the advice in this post to remove the Google Software Update from your Mac? Actually now I have 2 programs that crash while opening it immediately shows error google keeps and now pocket.
It shows a huge error page I have no clue in. Hi, thanks, but I installed it and my system is still automatically updating. I deleted it from my apps and reinstalled it and the same thing. I just made a rule in LittleSnitch to deny any connection to any server and we will see how that goes. But does it make any sense why your GUU is not working for me? My guess is that the Google Software Update no longer includes those scripts and these commands are now outdated.
Otherwise, you may find other info on the web that is a bit more current. Hi, maybe this is not even what my problem is but I was halfway through signing up for Google Analytics but declined at the last minute after reading their terms and conditions. I discovered something a day or two later, when I tried to create another GMail account and Google prevented me from creating an account until I provided my phone number. I have 3 other GMail accounts and have never had to provide my personal details before.
I want to know if there is a way to find out how to remove my information off Google Analytics? Please help. The phone number request is something everybody gets me in included every once in awhile.
If you forget your password, for example, I believe you can reset it by phone an automated system will call you, or send you a text message, with a code to reset your password. Hi Raam, thanks for your response. This is a new account I want to create. I also get asked for my telephone number on my other GMail accounts but I always decline that suggestion. DO you know if there any way I can work around this and create an account without needing to add in a phone number?
Thanks for post , python file was not found so I explore the file and following command worked for me Uninstall if install. Hi, I have the same issue with my system, but this bug comes from my Android File Transfer dmg. If i remove it from the system I will not be able to tranfer any data from my phone the USB way, So I think my Mac has to live with this crap for now….
Well here it is Jan 24, and like others, I stumbled here to solve the same problem! I know just enough to throw a monkey wrench in the works if I were to try using terminal, so I happily went over to wireload. Have you tried running the commands as suggested?
Thanks for your response Raam! On another note, the software updates banner on my Mac is driving me crazy — pops out about every 5 min for non-essential updates. Thanks again! Hey guys. It was fairly trivial to find the correct location in finder, and then tweak the command line accordingly. Thanks Raam. That last command actually got the updater removed. The updated command posted did work, however -nuke needed to be changed to —nuke in order to work. So I used:. Am running OSX These were last modified in May Should I delete any of these or use one of the above scripts?
You could try doing a full system backup and then deleting them. Even then, on browser restart Google Chrome offered to install the software updater, which I declined but it came back shortly afterwards so I had to blacklist it in my firewall.

Well, even worse than that, when I choose to continue with the update it gives me this message: So every other day for the past two weeks I have been prompted to update the Google Talk plugin, and every single time I choose OK this same error message pops up. It appears that now you can plug this into your terminal to disable Google Software Updater from checking for updates: defaults write com.
