Is trying to make me "update" Safari.
I don't have Safari. WTF are they playing at? They really are the evil empire. This is full-on cheap Microsoft tactics.

does it not come bundled with quicktime and itunes these days?

I appears that's what they're trying to trick us into.
I only have quick time installed. Why should they bundle ANYTHING else? I don't want their shit-ware.
It's completely underhand.
- i'm on PC with QT, and Apple Updater tries to make me install iTunes every 2 days. So its not just cheap MS tactics.Corvo

Or you could save yourself a load of anguish and buy a mac?

Are you using Vista btw?
It was just pointed out to me that XP lets you choose which components you want, whereas on Vista you don't have a choice, it's all or nothing.

uninstall quicktime then.
get the alternative quicktime player or whatever it's called, probably mungbeanPlayerLite or summat equally free-range.
- VLC has a QT plugin too?YAYPaul

there is an alt for QT, Real Player, and Windoze Media player for windoze systems. or find a version of QT pro. or just go in to the program fer fecksakes and turn off updating. jeez.

Safari is supposed to be hot shit though. I agree this tactic is weak, you may have been interested in trying it in your own time.

^ indeed. you can uncheck automatic updates in QT prefs.

I already get regularly incensed by Apple butting in to my day, asking if I want to update Quicktime with the obligatory iTunes install - I mean, wtf? iTunes is for atechnical plebians and the only reason I need QT is so I can watch the occasional reel by some halfwit Apple-bound youth.
Really gets my goat. REALLY.
